“I feel like the whole NASCAR tire idea was like a statement of my personality. [My dad] was the one that originally kind of gave me the idea to do it. Its been sitting in my room for a little bit and we were looking for stuff to use,” Willock said. “I feel like since this was kind of the first time [for ‘anything but a backpack day’], we were working out whats good to bring, but I feel like if we do it next year, itll be a lot better. Therell be a lot more variety to what people bring.”](https://pwestpathfinder.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/DSC_3568-900x600.jpg)
