This week on LIVING IT LOUD: The story of Bobby Bennett in drag racing is one of a kid who was determined to be part of the sport.  At the age of 12, he developed a motto that would be the driving force in his life. When no one will give you a chance, you have to make your own chance.  From there, the enterprising 12 year-old kid worked his way up the ladder of his local dragstrip, Spartanburg Dragway, ascending to the role of race, Director, track reporter and announcer within a year. This determination and persistence would lead him up the ladder of drag racing journalism as a reporter for his favorite magazine Super Stock & Drag Illustrated. After a decades of working in the printed magazine industry, he saw an opening in the wide open frontier of the internet. CompetitionPlus.com was launched in 1999, and has been a trailblazer in the industry for over 25 years now. The goal for this magazine was to bring legitimate journalism to the Internet. 

“Every great journey starts with one step, and for me every step I’ve taken the good Lord above, has been with me and steered me in the right direction,” Bennett said. “ I was just a kid with a dream, and I’m still that kid every day when I wake up at 4 AM and start cranking out copy for the magazine.”
