Don and Glen you both bring up some very good point's . I think we all have dfferent reason's why we race but one thing we all share is the love of what we do . Don you are so right when my father was 63 he was old. I am just a kid at 62 Glen you have me beat  I won't be 63 till October And I hope to do this for a long time . As far as the racing I would love to see a heads up 7.0 or 7.50 class . Epping has a pro comp class with a 6.20 index and it has been very successful . Bracket racing can be fun too a lot of real close races . I go to some af the big buck races at Atco with my son and they are very very competetive . If you are not .00 on the tree you better be dead on your dial . I think the main thing to remember is to have a good time and just enjoy the warm breeze as Don said . Speed on brother's and sisters!

All right I feel like the little kid of the class now at a young whipper snapper age of 47. woo hoo.

 Don I respectafully disagree about the need to be number 1 for me that is the fun. I love the thrash,the challange of out smarting others on getting down the track quicker then they can. But as Bill said we all race for the fun no matter what you call fun. Heck only crazy guy calls working 69 hours out of 3 days and spending thousands to do so fun but thats what we where doing when running the funnycar and I loved every second of the not sleeping race deal.

  Heck the sitting around looking at the car instead of dropping the pan,yanking the clutch and pulling the heads is the one thing I hate about bracket racing,but my budget is nowhere near what it was when I got work all weekend for that #1.

Blind Mule:
I have bracket raced almost 40 years had some success and won a track championship chased points too and won the deal but I won't do it again the day before every race I would almost get sick thinking about the points :-[ Thought if I missed one race it was a sin like to run me nuts {Well my wife says I am any way} Bracket racing is tough you need lotsa luck and some skill also patience helps alot too. I am building a FED if it ever gets finished to run brackets I just want to go toe to toe with the Rear engine cars (I had one great car butjust another dragsteonly difference mine had a Ford motor ??? The FED I am building now is gonna have a 300 inline six Ford on alky won't be fast but kinda different 8)  What ever you decide have fun with it and good luck keep us posted!

  Randy!
