Re: Oldest class racer
I turned 80 July 12th. Health issues, bad back, have forced me to the side.
But I can still dream!! Put the batteries in, a little fuel and the "Buzzin" is ready to go! #5458 Curt Rees

Re: 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.
