Probably because we aren't street racing.

Anyway 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.

59, creeping up on the big 60.

Started racing myself in 1969, but helped my cousin with his new Hemi SS car since 1964, attending many nationals and divisionals before I started doing it myself. You'd think I'd know better by now....

Haha, that might be the case. Around here, the street racing scene isn't as big as it once was, but the ages are all over the place. I actually have never went out of town and did and full pass street racing. My car is usually torn down hahaha. Our closest track is 2 hours away, so there are some pretty quick street cars around here.

I'm 63 and started working in 1964 on my brother's 58 Plymouth "Christine" car with the 350 Cu In big block! In Sept of 1964 my Mom, Dad and I ordered this 65 Coronet and took delivery in Oct. of 64. I'm moving it to our shop at my eldest Son's tomorrow, to begin putting it back together so my Grandson can drive it when he gets his license in 3 years, and becomes a 4th generation driver of the Dodge! Meanwhile, our 64 Belvedere will be back next year for racing fun!! Picture is of my youngest son MFR440 and I at Bristol, TN Mopar event several years ago!

I am 55 and first raced at the track in 1975. I bracket raced a 4-speed 340 Dart until I rolled it in 1982. Got banged up pretty bad and had a lay off from racing until I got a Dart in 1997 and built a mild 383 for it. Got married and had a few kids in the lay off years but the bug got me so bad I had to get the Dart in 1997. Been driving and racing my street/strip cars since then. Just mostly a test & tune guy with a few real races every now and then. I just love to run my street car and have fun racing some buddies at the track. I took auto shop in high school from 1970 to 1974 and have been an auto tech since 1974. This was the Dart I put the 340 four speed in and bracket raced until I rolled it in 1982. Ron

First 'sanctioned' race was in '68 @ Hyde Park in Newark, Oh. Won F/SA and F/PSA the same day,,HOOKED for ever!! Been in and out a few times over the years, even 'retired' once, but, I'm back again the last couple years and looking forward to several more. Pic was taken awhile back, but I still look pretty much the same... ,,be 63 in Feb.

Turned 43 this Sept. and still having fun learing this amazing hobby. Been racing for about 4 years, unless you include bmx since the mid 70's to 83-ish when I wiped out my left knee.
