[et7333]

Who's still racing thats 55 and older and what is he or she's age?
I'm 63 this month.

[zipper06]

Turned 72, on Feb. 2nd, built 3 engines for other people last year, got 2 cars under construction and 1 running at this time. I know atleast 1/2 doz. racers here in La. over 55, some over 65, and that many up in Ms. also. Old racers never die we just run out of funds to finish out projects.

Ya know that you're a hardcore racer when you are under sedation for a colonoscopy and your last words before going totally under are (slurringly) "Maaaaan, I hope they don't strap me in a race car while I'm like this...." :D :D :D

NOW THAT IS COOL!!!

I don't have anything that I've had very long. I don't even keep the same hobbies for to many years.

Will be 59 this month, hopefully. On my fifth drag car in 40 years. Been building a few engines for myself and friends every year. Cars have been my only hobby unless you count women.

I am 57, and still machining race engines and building. Building about 20 stroker motors a year. Own and drive an 8 second '81 Camaro (favorite), a 7 second SB Spitzer dragster that my son drives, and a 9 second SB '88 S10. Don't plan on stopping any time soon.
