Just reading another post and got me wondering , since a of us regulars on here will never meet in person. How about letting everyone know how old you are and how long you have been in this crazy azz sport. I will start Me 55 years old and started racing when I was 2 weeks from being 16 years old. You do the math.

Just turned 60; started late '60s with high school buddy's car @ Lions. By '71 crewed a C/G '63 Vette and had a '57 Chevy built for MP that saw a lot of street racing because I was foolish. Then worked on FC & Baja stuff, bodies and minor fab work. Then got into road-racing for awhile but mostly building/restoring: Can Am, TransAm, NASCAR Southwest Tour, had a canyon-carver. Then crewed a Sprint Car & got a few rides in that. Back into drag racing (brackets) in '94, but that's tapered off a lot the last couple of years; ran some more road courses in my Mustang and am again leaning that way. Building another street/strip Mopar though for a more fun/less work drag car. I'll say this: I've been fortunate to meet or work with some of my heroes, and even though I rubbed shoulders with a lot of Hollywood along the way, I'd rather hang out with racers than any other group of people.

27 here. On/off for 8 years. Spent a couple years only racing 3-4 times a year. Between 2-3 jobs full time student just couldn't afford 4 speed parts when I broke em'. Took almost 2 years to save for my GF4A. Better job now and hopefully for years to come.
Look forward to anything mopar next year especially Josh Kings stuff and trying some class racing in 2013

53 years young......started racing in my early 30's........legally. I have almost always had some sort of nice ride to play with and a dedicated race car for a dozen. Sold it and focused on motorcycle enduros till my body told me to cut it out. Now I am closing in on finishing what will easily be my fastest car. Hopefully , funnest coincides with that.
