OK, I'm 74. Caught the bug when I was around 12 years old, Hot Rod, Car Craft & magazines no longer in existence. Knew about drag racing then, never could get out to San Fernando until my dad took me in 1961. Hook went in deep. One thing I notice today is trying to get a newspaper to print articles about drag racing. In Phoenix, we have the AZ Republic, which usually has articles about the nat'l event at Wild Horse & that's it. They do some articles about our oval track, which does Indy Car & NASCAR. I guess today, social media is the ticket. I don't think anyone under 30 reads a newspaper.

Yeah, us older folk were all born (gasp) before cell phones and we had to walk to school uphill 30 miles each way and I got my drivers' license with a 1954 Ford station wagon with a 3 on the tree that was my parents car & they had a flat tire with it cuz I wanted to, ah, spin the tires..... I dunno how I escaped "death by parents" cuz of the dumb stuff I did. heh

Am trying to think of a smart a$$ remark to Bob's post (ugly baby) but I'd get in trouble. heh heh

Chris, my mom was a Marine in WWII. She got married to my dad & got pregnant with me, so Marines gave her discharge. I dunno if she wanted to stay in, but she was proud to be a Marine. Louisiana Cajun farm girl becomes Marine....
