I'm 53..  Been into this since 1972.. Gary Densham was my auto shop teacher. He and his partner, Ben Buchanan had a 1969 or 70 Mustang.. Powered by a Big Block Chevy.. Pro Flite trans..  If I remember it was a Modified Production car B/MP..  "Teachers Pet".. I had a 1960 Valiant at the time.. 12 second small block Mopar.. I'll never forget when Densham said to me.. "Someday you'll get smart and drive a Chevy, and it will be the happiest day of your life"  I guess I'll never be "Happy" I do however have 5 Wallys to my credit..  Chris..

I'm 49.I've been going to the races since 1971.My Dad raced from 1971-1996,and I got his car in 1999.Started bracket racing in 1982,and have been on and off since then.Built a nice car of my own back in the mid 80's,but ended up selling it.Son goes to college next year,and since I did the state college prepaid deal,I'll be able to get out a lot in 2012.Tuition payments have stopped me from going out this year,but I did manage 2 TnT's.My Dad is still involved with the car as he and I build the engines,and if I can get him out to the track next year,I'm going to have him drive.
