Yes, I suppose the racetrack would seem quite trivial to a WWII vet. Or maybe a place to go and forget.
Back story -- mom married an agricultural spray pilot. I don't think that promise came right at the beginning, but the realization did. Sadly, we kids caused him to abandon his true love -- flying.
Ahh, the story takes another surprising turn. Married to a race car driver??

Can you see me
there on the left
in the white sailor cap?
I'm just back
from traveling the globe
on a navy frigate
Why would I care
about watching
three cars go round
a miniscule
dirt track
when I have moved in
much bigger circles?
