    The STT Southern director is around 60 and is one of the fastest guys in the Southeast.

    Age is a number. Unlike ball sports, you don't need to have a 40" vertical, 365 bench or 4.4-40yrd dash to be successfull.

    I was thinking the same thing. Don't tempt fate, especially in this sport.

    Just remember, you little punk, age and treachery will outperform youth and enthusiasm every time and us old-timers have more experience backing down the loading ramp than you have being alive. Grrrrrr. :)

    A reasonable plan, John. Some dudes in the old AMA 250gp pro class were older than me. A good bunch of folks.

    You know what I hate? Some bike blows by you and you don't recognize it or the rider. Then you get back in the pits and the guy takes his helmet off and he's a gray haired old guy.
