Dad raced midgets til I was 8. He quit and got all us boys started in Karting. Just a natural progression after that. Been Hot Rods and race cars ever since!!! Oh yeah, and Dad made his last pass on the dragstrip when he was 76....In my Super Gas car, he went 9.903 @ 142!!!! At age 63 he was bracket champ at Thunder Valley. It was his first full year of drag racing, said he'd always wanted to try it so we set him up a Maverick!!! Think he had more fun the 3 years he bracket raced then any of us "kids"!!!!!!
