So let's start a new age Poll. Rather than everyone complaining the old one has closed, let's see if I can figure out how to do a new one! :whacked:
Crossed fingers!

OK it took mine 67
I never did one before so it took a bit of trial & error. Glad it's working.
Yeah, we needed a new one. The old poll has been around for years and is probably not an accurate depiction of the group currently on CHR... A lot of the poll participants on the old one have been gone from CHR for years.
That's what I thought! This one expires in 355 days!Quote:

Well then I guess we'll have to make this an annual event so we can chart our progress?!?! LOL..Quote:

I'm in at 70.5 and like HRP said - - - - inside I'm John Milner but everywhere else it's Grampa Moses !
Walter Bratcher's 1969 dodge coronet r/t. Driven by Big Al's Toybox crate motor w/ 8-71 supercharger on top of 500 ci mopar motor. magnum force coil over front struts and k-member. 4 speed, no roll cage. Not a show car or a race car. Just a beach boys car.
Please keep us in mind for drive in, car show, and cook out in Orland park at the Midas. Last year we rented a 32 foot tall movie screen and showed American Graffitti. We will have fun stuff for every age group. 100% proceeds go to a charity. The last two years were for the food bank.
I saw some guys voted in the old poll and missed this one for 2012. Hopefully they'll see this and join in for 2012.
Suggested to Bill or Brent to link the old "Age Group Poll" thread to this one. Should not be too tough....Quote:

Good idea, we've had some bracket creep. Used to be Jim (Big Tracks) was our only guy in the 70 bracket, perhaps Walt Zander before he died, but that was about it. Poll away............
Bump to Top...
I'm end 70's instead of 60's i voted
Fruedian slip??? LOL.. It's ok, not like it's a scientific sampling... Just some curious people! :DQuote:

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)Quote:

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!!!!!
Bump to top.. Trolling again..
71 and lovin' it. :LOL:
I'm drooling all over my laptop with all the great rides and projects. These are only things I can dream about, due to the fact I live in a mobile home park where they can kick you out if they catch you changing your oil. :(:(:(
Well guys - the only age I will admit to is 39. As far as anniversaries of that milestone - there have been a couple http://www.freesmileys.org/smileys/s...aughing014.gif
I saw a couple new names, maybe we can entice them to participate here...
BTT = Bump To Top
Well, we've had some new members come aboard.. maybe they won't be bashful and take "our" Poll?
I collect a pension and SS. Life is good at 65 and counting. Still can't figure out how I found time to work. Nothing like a good power nap when the mood hits. It hits often.
Just a bump to the top, hope the new guys see this and punch in their 'mileage'!!!!
Thanks, Dave!
52 and not kickin to high
Well Im not a new guy by any means...but its been a while since I visited here. Just never could get used to the format. I stop by and lurk for a little bit though. I see most of the familiar names here. Noticed that itoldyouso hasnt posted in awhile.
