Hope I age this well

[Rash]

I was at the auto parts store this morning.  I was waiting my turn behind some older gentleman.  I was looking at a signed photo of a local dragster legend, by the name of Gene Carter.  He races an old 50's something gold vet.  When I was in High school in the late 70's to early 80's he was racing that car.

I looked at the photo, then looked at the guy in front of me ordering brake pads, wow, it was Gene.  He's in his late 80's now, but looks great!  He's drag racing in this video at the young age of 82.

I've been noticing 60 and 70 year old dudes crushing in that show "pinks all out" recently.
