Old Farts that don't have enough sense to quit

Rick Kolber · 03-05-2013, 11:42 PM

My father/brother started racing 64-66 in Max wedge Plymouths. I started in 73 with a steet driven VW that ran 13's in 1/4 eventually graduating to a Max wedge SS/EA and then an A/SA which Kasse/Corda can talk about. Quit for some stupid reason only to resurface in 2001 for a short stint in F/SA only to quit mainly for the loss of my brother but will soon be back with the best car ''I" hopefully have put together.

1959 Old Dominion Dragway Manassas, Virginia 1/5 mile. My Pop's 37 Packard convertible . Hope he doesn't read this , 89 years old and he would still beat my ***** and ground me.

After reading most of this, I feel pretty young....first time to the drag strip I snuck into Person County Drag Strip (now known as Roxboro) riding in the trunk of my brothers car. Must have been 1974....I was back in a few weeks with my car and still going.
