Garrett Borchard, now 10, of Coleman, finished the 2007 drag racing season in first place in the eight to nine-year-old junior dragster division at the Mid Michigan Motorplex in Edmore with 683 points. Borchard, a somewhat shy and quiet ten-year-old, leaves his timid personality at the starting line when the final light glows green on the tree. “It’s kind of really fun, driving as fast as you can,” Borchard said of racing a car that tops out at 50 mph, six years before his classmates in school will receive their drivers license.
