Drooze gives me a lot of credit for work on the car, and I did push through the nonsense to buy it and I still pay the bills, and I did do a bit of work from time to time, but frankly the current nature of drag racing, and sophistication of the technology leaves me following his lead for most of the work that I can still physically do...
But at 64 and after undergoing chemo every other week for a couple of years (soon to start back on it, but I took a break from it to get the car ready for Pomona .. and we didn't get there, so kept off it so I could make Phoneix.... didn't make that either..but here we are ready for the divisional in Atlanta and hoping to make Gainesville next week..)
But at my age, and in my condition, I just don't have the physical strength and overall stamina to work on a car like I used to do.....and it sucks to not be able to do it like I used to.
But I guess that is why we have kids.. so we can live vicariously through them when we get older...
At the end of the day, I pay the bills, and I was involved in every decision, and some of the actual work, but Drooze really did build most of the car himself.
