Craig Bjorklund was trying to remember exactly how long his son, Blake, has been racing motorized machines. He called out to his wife, Dianne, asking what age their son got his start, then reported back with a chuckle and an answer: " `Four,' she said."
The exact age might be in question, but rest assured, Blake Bjorklund - even though he only recently turned 21 - has been racing for quite some time. It's the Isanti native's passion, and those who know him say it's no surprise that it's put him, no pun intended, on a fast track for success.
"He's just one of those kids," Craig said. "He's always loved speed."
