    Its true.... Hot Rodding does keep you young - 82 ......I can't believe it!!

    I can only hope I am that actively involved when I reach 82 ( or even now for that matter )

    Happy Birthday & to many more to come!!

    82, I thought I would have caught him by now. I won't be 65 until September, Damn. I think he's got the calendar rigged. Just hope I can get out of bed at that age.

    HAPPY BIRTHDAY GENE!!!

    <-- If you're referring to the '32 roadster, I believe his best was 192.8xx last weekend. Faster than I'll ever get to go!

    I see this guy everywhere rather its his booth at a show or running el mirage.He is always a pleasure to talk to, never cocky and full of himself.

    I hope I am half the man he is at 82.

    Mr. Winfield has truly made our world a better place

    Oh and what ever is keeping him so young needs to be bottled and sold to the rest of us.

    Just saw him last Sunday (06/14/09) on his birthday, at El Mirage....

    Very cool to see him wrenching on and racing his car at 82.
