"Old Drag Racers"
I just made a post today on the thread about Clem's passing. When Nancy Wilson, East Coast Drag Times Hall of Fame, called be to tell me of Clem's passing, we started talking about how many "Old Racers" have passed away in the 11 years of the Reunion. It is a very long list. During this Holiday Season, if you have friends or even relatives who are "Old Racers" contact them and just talk about the old days of drag racing. They will enjoy telling you about how it was back in the early days. The stories you can hear are priceless and to quote the late Ronnie Sox, "the racers today can't possibly have as much fun as we had back in those days."

Re: "Old Drag Racers"
I can't speak for the young folks, but I'm still having fun racing! Of course, a lot of the things we all used to do wouldn't go over too well in this day and age. I look back sometimes and think "was I really that crazy?"
So many great memories, of so many great friends, doing so many great things! It's what keeps me going! Lew Old Drag Racer!

Re: "Old Drag Racers"
Ditto to Lew. I'm gonna get better this year. I have resolved to change no (human) body parts this year. And I have resolved to beat Slate this year. And I am going to finish higher than Kevin on some unknown list. That about takes care of the year.

I have to grow older, but I don't have to grow up.
