Being one of the oldest posting here, and probably the oldest running a stick car, here are my thoughts. I like racing with the UMTR guys, and with some local NSS events, but being on a fixed income I now look to doing Test and Tune nights (days) to get more than two or three runs in for less money. Most of the youngsters I see at Keystone (my home track) are running new muscle cars. The kind I could not afford when I was their age? When I go to local car cruises and talk to the younger generation, I ask, Have you taken your car to the track? Most say no. For some reason, they want the look, but not the performance to back it up. As long as I can still hit the gears, I'll have fun with my Roadrunner. When my Arm/Leg co-ordination fails, then I'll think about hanging it up.
