Dave - The next time you go to a street rod/hot rod event/drag race/etc, take a look at the "grey beards" wandering around, often on their scooters from having too much fun in their youth. Also, those younger ones - too busy with jobs, some with more then one trying to support their growing families with no money left for an expensive hobby. Then there is the real unemployment number of 23 million or 16+% (U.S. National Debt Clock : Real Time - far right side column)

Dam' I feel ancient today

I know what you mean,Dave!!! Last summer we had an 'over 50 only' bracket race one Friday night....there was 14 of us--and 5 of us still run manual shift cars, which really confuses the heck out of all the kids and their Flowerglides!!!!! ---and yes, we're all turning some very consistent times, too..... Anyway, it was a blast--we ran it no delay boxes, tranny brakes, 2 step rev limiters ok..... Already a bit of talk about doing it a few more times this summer!!!!!
