    My son is 11, and he never saw me race as I quit when he was 4. He's an avid race fan and can tell you everything about MotoAmerica racing. I took him to Road Atlanta earlier this year and let him talk to @ghetto customs and that was cool for him because he knew I raced Chris a lot in the past. So tonight I reached out to his favorite 2019 rider @oilslinger Kris Turner to see if he'd speak to him on the phone. Man, what a 3 min that was. I felt weird calling a racer asking him to talk to my son, but knowing he doesn't see me on TV at all, I knew it would be awesome for him and you'd think he was talking to Marquez. I can't thank Kris enough for taking the 3 minutes he talked to Davis to go over this year's races and plans for next year. He really enjoyed that.

    Sorry for the rant. Just a good Dad,feel good story. And thanks @turner38 for raising a good dude. Wish you guys well next year.

    Glad Krapper could be of assistance! He has his moments and is pretty good with kids. I’m sure Kris has memories of chasing you when he was a kid he could share Also, used to worry the hell out of me when he would get you and Brad in sight and start trying to catch you....
    I remember one High side at Nashville from that happening! Probably helped him a lot in the long run having fast riders to chase.

    "knowing he doesn't see me on TV at all, "

    You wore out that Suzuki cup vhs and broke it before little D-man was old enough to understand the glory before him, didn't you?:D
