I can't even remember who it was now, but someone was 71 and said, "Don't even write it down... Gary Russell is two cars behind me and he's got me by 4 months!" Bob Shaw was looking good at 73, but ultimately, Bob Dennis laid claim to the prize at 74. We had a serious bunch of "experienced" racers who still know how to get it done, and you can tell they're having fun doing it!

I guess my dad was one of the young guys at 69 years old...
