I’m only 62 and I had a plan and built a street/strip car I could drive to the track, race and drive home. Then both tracks close to me shut down so I’m back to trailering my car to the closest track which is about 3 hrs away. So much for that.
If you've lived around Manhattan long enough, you may remember a mom and pop drag strip west of Manhattan on the opposite side of the hwy from the airport. I raced there a few times when I was stationed at Fort Riley.
