Another oldster here, I will be 72 in July and retired for three years at the end of May. I took my first trip down the drag strip when I was 16. I have had a dedicated race car since around 1973. I took about seven years off when my kids were young.

I am currently chasing a dream to run NHRA Super Stock. I have got the engine to probably about the minimum horsepower level to compete in my class and that has uncovered some chassis issues. I hope that is fixed but I won't know until I get it out again.

I need to get off here and get back out in the shop and finish reinstalling the Dana for that to happen!

My son is active in the sport and I think there is a good chance my five year old grandson will be, only time will tell.

I try to visit this board every day, however I am a little discouraged about the mean spirit that shows up more often than it should.
