Average Age

Milton Gamble · 09-04-2018, 08:18 AM

I'm curious. It's enjoyable to see so many racers that qualify for Senior/AARP status.

Is there any data that gives the average age of competitors?

The Greek is in his 80s. Was he the oldest?

One of the reasons I ask, my current hobby for the last 25 years has been racing 1/24th scale slot cars. We are not attracting the younger generations. There are a lot of reasons. No "Reset Button", they don't like to build or tinker as my generation did...etc.

Also, I'd like to say thanks to all of you that are posting pictures and commenting.

Indy is still on my "Bucket List". I thought it was going to happen this year, but I had knee surgery in January, injured the other knee in May along with a severe hamstring pull/tear, and 3 weeks ago I tore the meniscus in the knee that was operated on. It is a complete tear this time.
