I can see how this might apply to some. Some guys got married & had a family, right out of high school. Many of these just didn't have the time or money to "waste" on drag racing.

But, many of those guys no longer have children to support. And, a few of those guys got into a profession from which they made lots of money, so now have plenty of play money to spend.

So, for those few guys who wanted a Musclecar and/or a drag car, but could not afford one, but now can, I can easily see that some might wanna get into drag racing, after age 60.

I had to stay out of racing for 20 years. But, now that I'm retired, I'm workin on a low budget bracket car, for local 1/8 mile racing. Didn't like racing any less, during the period when I couldn't do any. So, there are probably quite a few other guys who feel the same way.
