The other night, David and I were talking… I said, you know… I kinda wished I’d talked to Elvis about starting a race team… David said, I’m surprised you didn’t… I said, I thought about it… And, I know he was probably expecting me to, but I couldn’t bring myself to ask him for anything…Growing up with Elvis, we saw a lot of people ask him for stuff… Money, cars, motorcycles, everything… But, that’s something my brothers and I couldn’t do… We saw how it affected Elvis, went someone would ask him for something… Don’t get me wrong, Elvis loved to give… But, some of these people didn’t even have the courtesy to even ask how he was doing… They just showed up with their hands out… After they got what they wanted, they would leave… Then Elvis would say how he felt used…That’s why we NEVER asked for material things from Elvis… The only thing my brothers and I asked him, for… Was his advice…I’ve thought long and hard about the racing team, and I know Elvis was just waiting for me to ask him, for help… He even hinted for me to ask, but I couldn’t do it…Anyway, here’s the first photo of the beginning of Hound Dog Racing… This photo was taken in 1963… I was 10 years old… I’m standing to the left, looking at Rick… And, David is on the right… That’s Elvis’ cousin, Paul Wayne… That’s Vernon’s sister, Gladys’ son…I’m also adding a photo of Elvis driving a go-kart… This was our race track… The front driveway at Graceland… We spent many hours racing… Some of my favorite memories are from times like these…
