Topic: Inspiring the previous generation.

Roger used to race, 20 years ago. He was also once a well-know engine builder, for Opels. He called recently, while I was out of town, and left a message about the CD-ROMs I sent him for Christmas. He's been wanting to race again. He's been building his race car for well over 10 years, maybe 20. After watching us, and especially Ben Dawson, he's really hot to race again. I didn't see anything in the rules about not letting octogenarians race in Lemons...

Momentum is a terrible thing to waste.

Re: Inspiring the previous generation.

Lets see...Paul Newman won a race at 81.  Hershel Mcgriff last raced at Sears at 84. 

We have two geezers, 72 and 73 on our team.  The only concession we make is to let them go first and second.  They tend to fade later in the day and need a nap.  They still do 2 hour stints.
