Woodrow---Don't park that thing yet I still owe you one :-) I think Bobby and all of us that I like to refer to as "senior racers" still love to race just as much as we always have and I guarantee Bobby can still give anybody a good schoolin. What wears me out is all the work associated with getting ready for the races. We used to throw the car on the trailer stop by the Piggly Wiggly for Ice and sodas then pull up to the Sunoco pump and put in 5 gallons of 280. We could race three times a weekend and still have time to cut the grass. Compare that to packing up a box trailer and motor home to go somewhere for 3 to 5 days. It's hard for a young man much less one in his sixtys or seventys. First time down the track for me was April 1961 Old Dominion Dragway Manassass Va. and still have the fire. Can't believe that was 50 years ago.------Danny
