I started in 1974, my dream was to run Modified Production some day, then that plan was changed to Super Stock...I did run S/ST from '93 to 2002, cost to payback ratio sent me back to brackets. I couldn't imagine doing it today, entry fee $200 and payout the same as 1993??? And the contingency payouts are a fraction of what they used to be. Now we have seatbelts every 2 years, next year a new helmet (snell 2000 no good), $7.50 racing gas...I can hang a few more years, I guess...

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.
So ... that makes you 73 ? ..
