I tried finding a picture of the race track piece that I was referring to and found something close:

He'd use the pieces of the track which are similar to the stack of orange pieces on the right side of the pic. Only difference was that the track was green and the pieces were longer, so presumably flimsier.
I don't think he realized that it would be as painful as it was. It was those freaking edges that made them suck ass. My dad always got the belt growing up and I think in his mind, he figured that race track piece was a step down from the belt.
I'd get over it, but what pissed me off was why I would get in trouble... sometimes I could be a little shit...definitely wasn't an angel and had my moments where I was just...wild. However, I hated being punished/grounded for not turning the corner properly while finishing my outside single leg in wrestling practice or (gasp) actually losing a wrestling match....which didn't happen often, but did happen every once in a while.
Crazy wrestling parents are crazy.
Dad and I are cool...I don't think there is anyone in the world that we love more than each other... However, I definitely make it known that I thought that the way he handled those things was bullshit, whenever it gets brought up...which isn't very often.
