Footbrake racing

He actually hasn’t lost touch at all. He just fondly remembers a bygone era of racing that in many ways was much more pure than it is today.
I love footbrake racing too. It’s all I do. And I take great pleasure taking down higher tech opponents.
But, each to his own. Things evolve. It’s just nice that in spite of that, you can race how you want.
My friend Donnie Hagar won the million last year off the bottom, imagine winning it off the foot!

Exactly. I remember the days when you went to the track on race day and could get almost as many time shots you wanted before eliminations. Gates opened at about 8 am, hot track about 9 am, eliminations about 1 or 2 pm, finish racing about mid night. You could actually work on the tune up on race day, or even try some different parts to test back to back.
