My buddy Jay Slane has had some health issues that have kept him from racing much for the past 3 years. He is recovering from knee replacement surgery right now and hopes to be back out racing some later in the year. Haven't seen John Douglas racing in a few years and he was a die hard racer. Not sure what happened to John. Tony Conte still has his SS/AS Camaro but he has not been racing much either. Probably close to retiring seeing he is in his late 70's.
I am sure it is similar in Stock but I don't keep up with them as much.

Rebel Kidd has not retired from racing, I think you may see him out very soon with his car, just a rumor though......

My overhead door guy told me last summer he sees more race cars mothballed in garages than those that are still being campaigned

[QUOTE=Jim Wahl;606547]Kenny is one of the nicest and talented racers you could ever know and we miss seeing him race down here in D2. I hope he is doing well. His car was one of our favorites too!

Kenny has a very busy work schedule and I am sure it is hard to go to the track after losing his father.
