Started a prep shop in 1984 so I had the infrastructure to go do track days (they really didn't have too many DE's back then), started working for Track Time and Car Guys Inc in 1987 when I was 27, then went historic and SCCA racing (one of the "young guys" back then).
Just turned 54 and no, it NEVER gets old...

I'm in the under-35 age group, but I agree how this sport brings together folks from all ages, professions, backgrounds, etc. in a way few other activities do. I started doing DE events 3 years ago, and I hope to still be doing DE (and maybe racing) when I get to "70 and over" bucket

60 and wondering what happened to 30. As we all do........
But I have another 30+ years of hustle in me for sure.
Wish I had started 40 years sooner. A dream since college. But whatever: I'm here now. So how lucky am I? VERY

27 and been doing DE's with my father for a few years now (currently sleepless in Sebring as I type this). He has the P-car, I kart to get my wheel-to-wheel fix in, but know in the future there will be a Porsche in my garage.

51, I went to the Jim Russell FF School at Silverstone when I was 18, thought I was going to be the next James Hunt! College, Woman & Partying got in the way! Started DE's at Mid-Ohio when I was 37 (1999) & of course I was hooked, racing took over 5 years later. I just purchased a 2004 996 Cup and now I'm living the dream!
