Good luck. I started last year after not bracket racing for 18 years. I am living the dream. I am 53 years old and an empty nester. I have a 69 Dodge Dart that I built myself over 6 years after raising a family and working two jobs. My friend Steve Wann built the engine and helps on my setup, He is the best. I met him at the racetrack over a decade ago. I have met only great people at the racetrack which my bride and I stay for the long weekends. Any racer I meet at the track has been honestly helpfull. I have made some frindships that I will always value. The car has qualified over .70 under and is capable of more when the driver gets his act together. The car most always runs within .01 of its dial, The driver still struggles with lights. I usually go out first round. I have 7 grade points from last year and raced 2 National Events. I only won 4 rounds in all of last year. It is hard to not get discouraged but I LOVE THIS!! Hope you have as much fun as I do.
