Oldest class racer

Jim Hale is 80something, and still is a good driver of his '65 Dodge Coronet SS/CA car.

How about Bob Marshall? He's been active lately, with his SS/AA '65 Coronet.

Jim is 87 this year and like a kid in an old man's body, him and his wife Mary are like a young couple enjoying life every day.

Jim helped me lift a hemi block into his pickup this March. Pretty impressive for his age. If you get a chance ask him about his morning routine. Think he said morning swim everyday then glass of orange juice.

Dean Mink also is upper 80's.. Both running 65 Dodge Hemi Cars lately.
