Is it true that reaction time to the Christmas Tree reduces dramatically once one reaches 50???

You should be in bed waiting for Santa.

Although I did turn 50 today, I still react to the Christmas tree the same way; with ooohs and ahhhs... or something.

Merry Christmas.

Happy 50th, sixpipes.

I cut a .509 once, out of 25 or so tries, next closest, .569 I think.

 

Not to worry sixpipes, I'm 57 and cut a perfect .500 this year. Were not older, just better and smarter!

Thanks for the support guys. I don't think I'll really start feeling old til I get my senior discount at Denny's (55).

 

Nah, Dad is 41. This past season he has cut 7 or 8 perfect .500 Lights. I Know Noelvm has cut alot more than that and he is up in age too. Older, wiser, and a keen eye? Either way...... Merry Christmas!!

You might ask Warren Johnson about that! Argueably the Best Pro Stock driver that ever lived. (and I'm not a GM fan) He's in his mid 60's and considers a .525.....sleepin at the light!...

 

Considering WJ races on a .400 pro tree, a .525 *IS* sleeping at the tree. Especially when you have Rickie Smith (late 40s-early 50s, I think) who can go .420 or better almost every round, not to mention all those young whippersnappers like Richie Stevens! When the 16-car field is normally qualified less than a tenth apart, losing a tenth at the tree is suicide.
But I do think that anyone, regardless of age, can be a decent starting line driver.

My reaction time is .99 with an ET of 4 days, so there you go.. It improves a little with 18 YO Glenlivet though!!

What doesn't improve with Glenlivet 18, though?

Who was this "John Force" fellow, seems to be amoung the same ranks amoung our crowd as Billie the Kid was in the West.

BTW, I lost my track virginity to a 1.2 R/T.

 

Yeah, but what is up with John Force's uniform? That guy needs a Tide sponsorship or something.

Trackboy-
I try to hit all the big money bracket events I can in AL, GA, FL, MS, TN, etc. I run B&M series races and most other George Howard big-money events, along with higher paying local races and Super Chevy/Fun Ford/Powerfest-type events in between. My name is Kristi Hallman and I drive a 66 Chevy II wagon. I doubt you've heard of me, but you never know
Being from Hattiesburg, I'm sure you are more familiar with Hub City dragway, Ralph Abrams, and the Super Tens series. Unfortunately, I missed the Super Tens race at AL International, but I hear the weather was bad anyway. I was disappointed when they didn't come back for the second scheduled stop at Steele, because I would have liked to have run it. Maybe next year, I can make it to one of the events at Hub City.
See you around
