Thanks to a motorcycle-loving father, Nick Hargis was something of a ringer to get hooked on vintage racing. The riding bug bit Nick’s dad, Jeff Hargis, long before Nick was born, with dirt bikes his favored mounts. Following in his father’s footsteps, Nick took his first ride at the tender age of 4 — on a dirt bike, naturally enough.
