24 here...started racing the day after I got my license when I was 16. I raced alot of footbrake and tnt nights for about 3-4 years and got out of it for awhile because I sold my ride and the one after that lol. My valiant hasn't made a pass with the turbo yet but I hope to get back into it next season. I only chase ET...everything else has too many rules or cost too much to compete.

Wow. All of a sudden, I don't feel so old. I turned 54 this year and started racing in 1984, with my car. I had driven my best friends '70 383 'cuda 4 speed a few times.
I raced quite a bit until 1995, when I parked everything. I wouldn't have admited back then, but I had gotten burned out. Through out a divorce, marriage, changing jobs and moving half way across Tennessee, I managed to hang on to all my "stuff". At the urging of my new wife, I dragged all my stuff out in 2007 and updated eveything and went back racing in 2008. I managed to win a few gamblers races and runner upped in a super pro race that first year back.
Since returning to racing in 2008, not counting gamblers races, I have been to 13 final rounds, winning 6 of them. This year has been capped off by finnishing 5th in Pro (1/8th mile footbrake), 3rd in Sportsman (1/4 mile footbrake) points at Bristol, and winning my first "Wally". All this with one car.
And Valerie is still glad she "pushed" me back into racing. It don't get no better.

I am 42 and my first 1/8 pass was in 1993.
Would not call myself a real racer, since all I have raced is T&T.
First pure drag racing car was bought in 1988.

I do plan on racing a fast index class, that will be more than T&T.
Pict. is almost two years old.

53 years young and have been around racing for 32 years. I now own 2 cars and still have fun at the track. Lucky to have my wife as my biggest supporter and fan.

50, went to the track, infrequently, for T&T/brackets from 87-00. Then made the mistake of tearing it down for major upgrades. Got too involved with family and "getting ahead" in other ways. Learning to get my priorities right and apply more time in the garage.

55 now. Started when I was 17. My Father had no interest in racing so I don't know were I got the bug. I took my first 340 apart when I was 17 and after waiting over a year to have an engine built by the local expert, Did it by myself when I was 18. Made up my mind that day I will never wait again to have an engine built.


1970 Duster
Edelbrock headed 408

Livin and lovin life one day at a time
