50 and I started when I was 16. Was fortunate enough to meet a Stock Eliminator racer when I was a kid that traveled the eastern part of the US racing and let me go when I was able. Don't race as much as much as I used to but try to go at least once a year. Made my quickest and fastest pass ever last year in our new car.
I'm 31 years old
Been racing in a class for 1-2 years, all my passes before were test and tune hits in street cars .
I would have started earlier as I had my first drag car almost done 9 years ago but I sold it for a down payment on my house when I was 22
43.....started racing myself when I was 17. My father, his 3 brothers and 2 of his sisters all raced in the 1960's,70's,80's and 90's. They have all since passed. Only one of my cousins and I still race in my family.....and he's 56.
I started in the early 60's at Pomona. We still had a flag man. Took a break from '75 to '85 raise a family. I'm 78 now and quit driving last year. Too hard to get in and out with the cage. I still own the truck but my son drives now. I just pay the bills.
my first sanctioned NHRA drag race was at the newport airport in 1965, ran in I/SA, got my ass kicked............still racing today, in super pro...i am 72 years old.
