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.
