Thread: Old Age Test

Tweet

I grew up a salt flats kid. Pops was more into that Mom not so much! This was one that pops was involved with but 4 years before I was around. I keep this in my office to remember where everything started for me a long time ago. Never was into drag racing for some reason? Even now I couldnt tell you what the record is... 330mph or so in the 1/4 mile? So I guess that makes me over the hill or ultra young? Sorry my puter doesnt have sound... what year was the 200 mph broken?

Got really involved in circle dirt burnin' about that time, next one after the 200 mph passes came into being is 240 Gordy, then I was involved in Drag Racing when Don went 270 for the first time! Had my shop then everybody came over for coffee at about 10AM every day and had the current issue of 'Digger on the counter with the huge headline and picture showing Garlits hitting 270!!!!---Now if I could just remember where it was, my feeble memory wants to put the event at the 'Gators maybe????
