Sons follow father's tire tracks on the asphalt oval.
By Stephen Weeks Carolina Morning News Tom Haidon sometimes feels like he's running a track meet on Saturday nights at the Hardeeville Motor Speedway. Sometimes he gets so distracted by working with the boys' cars that he forgets about his own race until the 11th hour and drives onto the track in a car hardly touched since the previous week's race. What I find myself doing is paying more attention to their cars during the week and ignoring my own. Haidon's sons were born with racing in their bloodstreams. When they can't be in the driver's seat on the track, they practice their strategies and maneuvers during 200-lap bicycle races around a concrete slab in the family's backyard complete with caution flags and points standings.
