Re: world's oldest brakcet racer
Good video, Bobby.
There might be hope for some of us FOG's yet! I'll be 55 this year, just hope I can get a car back out before I get too much older, LOL. Robert Swartz

Re: world's oldest brakcet racer
Nice story, thanks for sharing. Don't let my wife see that thing, she thinks I'm too old at 57.

Re: world's oldest brakcet racer
HAHA, maybe she should. Seeing that, she would let you race until your 100.

Re: world's oldest brakcet racer
After spending some time with our retired friends in a MH park in Florida last winter and watching the shuffleboard games, my wife and I decided we would be racing until we die!!!!

George Rupert is closing in on 90 years old, I think.
He can still get-r-dun with the best in the World.

Re: world's oldest brakcet racer
First, I would like to thank this man for my freedom, he fought for a noble cause.
Second, I guess if I'm lucky I have a lot more years ahead of me but I doubt I'll equal his record Race On! |
