LOL Jack, that could be. As I understand it, when couple's get older, the only sex they have is "hallway sex". That's when they look at each other as they pass in the hall way and yell "Screw you!".

Another 'back in the day' ...... I was running U/SA against Phil Cerrone SS/AA hemi Cuda at New England during a S/SS race. 15.16 vs 9.48! He went by me so fast I almost got out of my car because I thought I stopped!

2 years ago big bracket race at Pacific. I was driving my brothers bracket wagon running 13.80s @ 97mph. Paired with an alcohol dragster that ran 6.90 @ 195!!!! He sat on the full tree a bit, i took a huge stripe, but had it dialed way hard good for the 1st round win. Crazy!!!

Back about 25+ years ago there was a guy from up north that ran a brown corvair in IHRA production superstock. He used to run some of the races at Darlington, Rockingham, and Bristol. I don't recall the E.T.'s but he got some pretty good spots. Don Jackson

I ran Harry Morgans Escort at the Gainesville divisional in 1999. He dialed 18.60 and I dialed 10.18. I have run Harry several times at IHRA eighth mile races where he dialed 11something to my 6.30/6.40's. I was 45 mph faster in the eighth mile and almost 60 mph faster in the quarter mile. It was always fun and the crowd (especially IHRA) loved it.
