Most kids don't start driving, and speed- ing, until they are sixteen. Travis Pointer started at the age of eleven. hen Travis Pointer was eleven years old. he used to speed around the Santa Teresa High School parking lot in the Herbie Jr. Herbie was shaped just like a VW bug which is one oi Trav's favorite cars. When Travis was about thir- teen, he began to grow out of his go- cart. Travis then went two years without some kind of car. Then, on his fif- teenth birthday, his mother and fa- ther bought him a blue baja bug. 1 was so surprised, I didn't even sus- pect a car at all. It's such a killer car. Ever since that time, Travis has Perfection. On an early Sunday morning. Travis Pointer adjusts his Baja's carbu- retor. Trav's bug is a '79 and was a gift for his 15th birthday. 1 adjust the carb so the engine will perform as good as possible. — Travis Pointer, photo by Lance Pardue practically devoted his life to his bug. The only time he's not working on it is during football practice, or when he goes out with the girls. Travis is out there until ten o'clock at night sometimes. That stupid bug is his whole life now, states Travis' broth- er, Darin. Travis also has plans in the future with his bug. He wants to race in de- sert or four-wheel drive races. In my spare time, I want to race my baja in desert races. I think that I could do well, and plus, it would be a lot of fun. When he first got the bug, it didn't even have an engine in it. Travis and his dad re-built an engine with the use of a diagram book. There are shops that specialize in parts for bugs like Bugs Only and Bugfor- mance. These are the places he and his dad went to get the parts for the car. Every weekend we used to get parts that we needed, and now it has an almost perfect chrome engine, states Travis with a large grin. Travis also has a subscription to Hot VW magazine, and he picks- up a lot of ideas for his car from them. He eventually wants to install a turbo into his VW and enter it into shows. His friend, Paul McClendon already think that his bug is the best in the school, and it is probably one of the best bajas in San Jose. Travis' parents support him in ev- erything he does. If he wants to go into racing, they think he could do well. But, more importantly, he knows that he can do it. Travis is going to turn his future dream into reality, no matter how hard it is for him. by Lance Pardue
