Oldest class racer

Fred Elsass · 07-23-2025, 11:01 AM

I turned 84 on 1 March 2025. My goal is to make a pass when I am 90.

Dave Wentzel turned 84 in July.

Cal Method is 82.

I do 70 push ups, 60 leg lifts and have ridden my bike 13 miles.

Any others out there.

Ther is a division 3 racer that is 92. I don't know his name, but he drives a blue Maverick in U/SA. This might not be totally accurate but close.

When I was 58 I thought "I better do this if I'm going to, before I can't".
Then this June I turned 60 and had cataracts in both eyes (surgery done and have 20-20 in one eye now, next surgery in 3 weeks) and various shoulder and knee issues and thought "I hope I didn't wait too long, why didn't I do this sooner??"

But, to see see 80 and 90 year olds still running? That is GREAT inspiration!!!

Thank you to all who won't (can't) give it up!!
