    Made 62 last April, haven't showed up in the obituaries yet so I'm grinnin' and buildin'.......

    This HA/GR thing gives me incentive to keep on doing the stuff that makes me feel like I'm still 18.:p

    Start another poll on the builders.......

    We're building.:D
     
  27. me...I'm 33, with the 'average' age of other HA/GR builders/owners/racers here approx. 38-42. We do have a few 'senior' participants who are over 50 but I dare not ask them their age as they'd smash me for being rude....:rolleyes:;):D:)

    Cheers, and back to the HA/GR's,

    Im 45, my late uncle died in 1982 was born in 1935--he was a builder. Lost his brother in law to cancer about 6 years ago, he was barely 60.
    Jack loved to build em, not drive them.
