Al Provoast is semi-retired. Cal Method and Chuck Norton have been at it for a while too.
Until just recently Harry Holton was still behind the wheel on occasion.
I could be wrong, I haven't seen him in a while, but a guy that looked like Dickie was in a yellow Corvette, it was probably the car he sold to Art.

The other day I found an old picture of the "Silly Bear" 69 Camaro he ran in Stock a while back.

My very good friend Arnie "The Farmer" Beswick is still going 7 seconds down the strip. He started in the stock and super stock ranks.

this year will be the 46th year of NHRA racing for my parents, they both started a few years earlier but just local stuff.
Like my Father said drag racing will never be as good as it was before electronics came into the mix. I'm from Ohio remember, lol
