Drag Racers age groups?

[Husky]

I am getting to be an old fart and just wondering what age groups people are still drag racing at. I have been out of drag racing for a few years but now am financially again able to get back in it.

Come to the UK, we are all old and still at it!!

 

[Ludicrous Speed]

I will be 41 in August

my "Pops" just retired from racing, he was 59 years old. do it as long as you can, there will be a day when you can't.

 

[NIGHTFLIGHT]

50 but i look like im 30
Im current track champ thats 2 of last 3 years.

 

[Mr Brown]

Will be 40 in a few months. Quickest rider at our track is in his 50's I would guess. Age means nothing except it takes a little longer to heal when things go wrong......

 

[AQTCJAK]

44

[Husky]

Glad to see all your responses, I was afraid I would be surrounded by a bunch of 18yr olds at the track

Started racing cars in my early 20's and had to quit for 20 years . Then got my 08 busa 2 years ago and started racing again . I am going to be 45 in july and still going strong.

 

[Raced Guy]

Im 25, and plan on racing until i cant ride a bike anymore. Then i will most likely convert a wheel chair and retrofit a turbo busa motor into it and terrorize the retirement home.

I am 58..Love to race now as much as I ever have..Ludicrous and Mr.Brown are from my neck of the woods..Could have swore they are both older than what they say

Thats awesome Dogman. I will be racing up here in Colorado, not many people doing the drag bike racing here, seems to be alot more popular out east, but I too am determained to keep doing it until I no longer can

wow lot of old farts in here LOL j/k I expected to see younger numbers on some of you guys. I'm 29 till June , then I'll still be 29. Good to see though , My wife once said to me when I sold my chopper and bought my first sportbike in 03' that I was going through a midlife crisis HAHA, I said no I just got smarter.

 

[stevenbusa]

i got my busa at 19 and got into racing at 20. im almost 21 now but the track champ and anyone that races bikes at my track is old. its a benfit to me i learn so much from there experince.

 

[Sweeney]

47 and just a beginner. I didn't start doing this until 43

 

[NIGHTFLIGHT]

Paul Gast went 6.60 @ opening ama race.Not bad 4 a old timer.

Been riding for a while, 29 now...

You're never to old. You get old when you stop racing....

I like that and think there is alot of truth to that, you do get old when you quit racing
