Older than I planned on when I would quit drag racing and a lot longer racing than I planned on Do the math Won my 1st trophy in 1964 at age 19 (there was a few street contest on dark, isolated roads before then ) and racing and winning on and off every since Oh Well I could have spent the time, energy and money in the bars or something worst

I am 60, and my first passes on the strip were in 1967 at a very primitive local track.I have not made a pass in years, but that should change this coming season. I guess I will now fit the "ET Chaser" class with my Allstate, which should be my fastest ride so far. I have owned the Allstate car since 1969 or so.
The below pic is from 69.

I just turned 57. Bracket raced sporadically from 73 until I got married. Started again with a few passes here and there in the early 80's. Got serious and chased N/SS points until 02. We won a fair amount but I got tired of the travel. Still run the street car a few times a year. New N/SS car will be done for spring so I can go back at it. No points chasing just a good time at selected events. And yes as always I'm serious about wining.

racing is a relative term. some people think they are racers because they make make a pass down a track or chase ET's . racing to me is competing against other racers for some kind of prize.having said that I have no issue with anyone who likes messing with cars and having fun.turned 54 this year and started racing in competition in 1976.


Different strokes Quick..... I`m 50 and started street racing in the late 80`s then made my first pass in 89 I think and have been "chasing et`s" ever since..........

57 years old. Started racing in 1975 at Connecticut Dragway. Then it closed in 1976 until 1980 when I got back into it.
Tried to get away for a while by riding Harleys but I'm too much of a junkie...
