How old are you and how long have you raced

I’ll be 44 next month. Spectator my whole life watching my dad race bikes as a kid. My first pass in a real car was his 70 nova and low 11’s in my late 20’s. My barracuda made a few passes but always had an inconvenient leak just suddenly occur and get me flagged. Here as of late i’m putting my 318 for my barracuda back together while re structuring my finances to get into a house. My dad is retired and his back and neck are fused so he can’t race anymore. But, he is in the process of rebuilding his small block nitrous motor and wants me in the driver’s seat and wants me to beat his best times of mid 9’s on his old bike. So, time will tell
