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!!!!!
