the 2013 season will be my parents 49th year of NHRA racing and over 50 yrs of drag racing. They are getting up there but still having fun and going rounds. and what is neat I'm there to watch every minute of it. This shot is from a month ago as they did a show at the local vocational school where I graduated from in Shelby,Ohio

48 years for me and i just turned 59 last month..........i started out with my parents taking me to the drag strip on Sundays and leaving me there to work at tech booth (shoe polish boy) marking classes on cars At 12 years young and it went from there to a longgggg relationship with drag racing....I do not regret it at all...Best sport in the world..........

You are very lucky! I can vouch for that. I had been racing with my dad "Corky Jordan" from as early as I can remember. We really started getting into NHRA racing in 1978 when he bought the ZOOOOOMER. This was the best time of my life. I really miss being with him but he is with my mother now. God bless them. "Corky Jordan 1943-2010"

Enjoy this time with your son, I know he is!

I'm still going strong. First raced at Pomona with a flag man in '58. I don't know if it's more fun now, but I can afford it more.
