I'm 63 and started racing a Super Stocker in 1971. I quit in 1975 when I became a Federal Agent. I got back into it in 2003, and have been running Stock Eliminator since 2010.

I am 42,started street racing my 68 Javelin when I turned 16. I started bracket racing at 17 and won a couple of trophies with my street car. I built a new 360 AMC for the car and did a little more street racing back around then(no I don't think it was smart).
I drove my brother's 73 big block Charger once and decided to go Mopar after that
I bought a 68 Charger in 86 and have building and racing Mopars ever since then.

In 1957 I traded 3 motor scooters for a 1948 dodge-fluid drive. I painted flames on the hood and fenders that I thought made it run faster. I was 13 and had no drivers license and a lot of us didn`t. We knew the police and every thing was cool. I raced on the street until `62 until I built a h/gas flathead `50 ford club coupe that I raced at Green Valley Raceway in Smithville,Texas. I have friends drive my `70 `cuda because I broke my back in `09. I can`t drive but I still act 26-I`m really 67.

Hell Bob, don't we all. I still love hanging with my friends and
shooting the bull. Figured it out a few years ago , 1 to 2 hours of running the car and the rest of the night to talk big about it.

Wel I just turned 47 yesterday. First time at the track was when I was 17. As far as actually racing a car on a competitive level only a few years seriously. Before that I was a T&T guy/ET chaser. Also did my fair share of street racing. Older and wiser now I guess

In 4 days I'll be 72. I've been racing since I was 15. Started off with old Ford stockers that would run about 19 or 20 seconds in the quarter. Progressed into a channeled 32 Ford 3 window with a hot flathead. In early 56 I bought a Chevy power Pack engine out of a 56 hardtop that the guy put 400 miles on before he totalled it. If I remember correctly I bought the adapter from Honest Charlie. I believe I was the first person in Louisiana to put a Chevy V8 in a different chassis. Went to the AHRA Nationals in 1961 in Texas. Continued running the car until I sold off everything and joined the Air Force in 1963. The friend I sold my 32 to still has it today. When I sold the car the engine was 283 ci, Isky 5 cycle roller, ported heads and Algon fuel injection the little car ran pretty good. From 63 until acutally 85 I was out of racing because of my Air Force career. Have been back in with Mopars since 85 and will stay with it until I feel unsafe driving. Still doing fairly well, I got down to 5 cars at a big race 3 weeks ago. It's been a blast!!!!

36 years old. Bought my GTX when I was 16. It was my first car. Went racing once when I was 18. Borrowed a set of slicks, gears and a better carb. Didn't go back until I had a better job, new 440, a truck and trailer of my own.

Tore my first 383 down when I was 13, built/ported/bored/sleeved/ it when I was 16, went out and did some testing to get a "handle" on the timing and slipped the sleeve Rebuilt with new block, so I didn't race until 17.
Chased ets until about 2000 when I got serious about points. Since 2002 I haven't been below the top 5. Now I'm 36 Mechanic/restoration/performance guy/ .
I have a bunch of 500 leftovers, roller stuff etc. but still trying to get the max hp out of the 383, so I can run SM (11.50) and Pro. Currently the fastest mph in SM but not enough . (did go 130 in a 67 cuda though)
Might build my 64 to house a 500 for fun..
Thinking about traveling to Mont,AB,OR, in the future so be sure to say hi.
