Man Caveman, i'm a very few days short of 73, and how many times have my relatives said why don't just sell all your racing parts and cars, and relax because you'll never finish all the projects you have started (true i may not) but i've raced since i had a drivers lic. and it's the most enjoyable sport on the planet as far as i'm concerned. i've made so many friends in drag racing over the yrs. and still making them today.
I do have a couple rocking chairs on the front porch but i use them to sit out in the late afternoon and evening (weather permitting) and have a few beers and talk to a neighbor if one stops by.
Zip.
