Probably because we aren't street racing.
Anyway I watched and 83 year old man run a 7.27 at 220.00 mph last night at the track. I'm still a kid compared to him.

59, creeping up on the big 60.
Started racing myself in 1969, but helped my cousin with his new Hemi SS car since 1964, attending many nationals and divisionals before I started doing it myself. You'd think I'd know better by now....

Haha, that might be the case. Around here, the street racing scene isn't as big as it once was, but the ages are all over the place. I actually have never went out of town and did and full pass street racing. My car is usually torn down hahaha. Our closest track is 2 hours away, so there are some pretty quick street cars around here.

I'm 63 yrs young, started out going to Lions in Long Beach CA to watch at about 17. Moved on to chasing girls, after the Army started going to OCIR to spectate and making pass's at T&T's ran a Stock Eliminator 340 Duster in the early 80's, spent the next couple of decades crewing for friends. Started building this BB Duster about 2 yrs ago and hope to be out this new year with it.

First 'sanctioned' race was in '68 @ Hyde Park in Newark, Oh. Won F/SA and F/PSA the same day,,HOOKED for ever!! Been in and out a few times over the years, even 'retired' once, but, I'm back again the last couple years and looking forward to several more. Pic was taken awhile back, but I still look pretty much the same... ,,be 63 in Feb.
