Good video, Bobby.

There might be hope for some of us FOG's yet! I'll be 55 this year, just hope I can get a car back out before I get too much older, LOL.

Still racing at 91,what a great story. Guess that means I still have time to un-retire and have some fun again!!!

I'm still wet behind the ears at 45. jack gives everbody down here so much hoped to continue racing until they are way old. sometimes people want to fish, but not Jack Sr.

Nice story, thanks for sharing. Don't let my wife see that thing, she thinks I'm too old at 57.

bobby · 03-06-2009, 03:38 PM

HAHA, maybe she should. Seeing that, she would let you race until your 100.

After spending some time with our retired friends in a MH park in Florida last winter and watching the shuffleboard games, my wife and I decided we would be racing until we die!!!!

George Rupert is closing in on 90 years old, I think.
He can still get-r-dun with the best in the World.

First, I would like to thank this man for my freedom, he fought for a noble cause.

Second, I guess if I'm lucky I have a lot more years ahead of me but I doubt I'll equal his record

Race On!
