How excited do you get about racing ??

I'm a old man now but still get the jitters after the first run of the season.....even if i haven't changed a thing.
when i smoked, i was a pack a day kinda guy. But yes i have at least 5 packs for a 2 day race.
I started racing at 16 with a 318 200000+ car and wasn't worried at all about the eng or transmission, but had 3 third members and 3 alt in the trunk:rofl:
Yeah my mom and dad had forbidden me from racing my car, so i would, have sleep over at my buddy house when there was a race. always took the chalk number of the windshield before i left the track, so i didn't have any problems with red and blue lights flashing in my rear view mirror.
When i turned 18 and moved out i broke the news to my family that this is what i'm doing.
later on my older brother took my mom out to a race i was in. She didn't injoy her self but put on a face for me.:)

You can go all winter long not talking to your racing buddy and the first race it's like it was yesterday.

When i get to old to be able to hold that brake peddle on the starting line............well i will have to brake down and buy me a tranc brake,.... that why they make them, Right!:D
