Hey Larry,

I am 66, and really picky about weather and temps being cool enough to race, with the fire suite, full face helmet, gloves. etc.
So I guess it is early spring and fall for me now.
I need a new goal to motivate me. Before it was get the old car back to the track, ( 30+years) then it was a 5 sec. pass, and to be racing with my old friends.
Now............. no motivation.

Good luck in what ever you do.
Your car still looks great.

Mark

Hello Larry, I am 54 soon to be 55 and have gone through those exact thoughts more and more lately as it seems like more of a chore to take the car to the track and to the cruises than I have time for or the energy. But once I get in either car then the adrenalin hits and it seems like the fever comes back. I would say take it in steps, you already got rid of the trailer and need to sell the race motor. Enjoy the car like it is and see if that satisfies your hobby intentions, if not then sell it also. Just don't clean house and let regrets rule. Whatever you decide is your choice and by all means enjoy life your way! Good luck! Greg
