I've been racing all my life since 16 yrs. old and still learn something everytime i go to the track. age don't mean crap if you still feel good, i'm knocking on the door of 69yrs. old, and am in the process of building a blown alcohol Anglia.
I think the schools are good if you're going professional racing, in a super fast and dangerous car. But for the 1,000's of racers that make up drag racing (not the pro ranks) they cost too much money for too little gain.

I had car problems once and ended up running the truck that I use to haul it down there instead of the car....radio on, air conditioning..put it in overdrive and held her to the floor. Went a couple of rounds( running trophy) then a buddy suggested I lower the tailgate and I broke out....it was almost more fun than running the car because everyone knew it couldn't get out of it's own way.... We even took shoe polish and put a big white stripe on the tire .
