I would like to think I can keep going for a few more years , I have quite a few friends in their mid 70s still racing and doing well.

We both regularly go against trans brake equipted opposition off the foot brake. Yet we've managed quite a few rounds with a fair amount of wins. I don't think it's age related as much as making laps. Doug
