Picture and a little blurb in Dec. Dragster
I appreciate that a lot....
I am blessed that pushing 80 years old and four
eye surgeries later, I still can compete without embarrassing
myself or being a danger to anyone. I really
enjoy the time with family and the many great
friends that I have made at the track.
I was legally Blind in one eye (No Depth Perception) the entire last year
and that made the finish line really a lot tougher to judge. Fortunately,
I have been racing the exact same cars (literally) since before many guys
on here were born. Knowing the cars so well and 70 years of going to the
track, I could generally dial them with holding 1 or 2 under the petal.
Knowing where you precisely are in ET approaching the finish, really makes
a difference in your confidence in the outcome of the race.
We really work on our car's chassis and engine tuning to insure they repeat
their performance. If we get a heads up or in Class, we know how to pull all
the levers to make them go fast!
