TonyP: Here's our chance for the big time. Are you going to go with me? I will do all the driving.

 

Just don't forget to turn off your directional once you leave Florida.

Do Seniors get a discounted entry fee?  

[Matt Sheldon]

This is very interesting and I think there are a lot of positive opportunities to grow here. Being as though I am over a decade away from being eligible I will keep my opinions to myself.

 

I like it!

Time will fly - believe me.

Instead of a plaque maybe the seniors could get walkers LOL.

[Mike Patterson]

If the reaction the Senior winner gets lasts for more than 6 hours, should he consult a physician?

 

Nah. He should call his buddies up, and brag about it.

If anyone wants to buy a 69-year old ID, I'll throw in a cane for a couple more bucks.

Is a Zimmer Frame an acceptable proof of age?

Whats a directional?

 

Hey Doc:

 

You live in Florida so you should know this...

 

It's when "old folks" leave their car's turn signal on long after they've actually made the turn.

Is a Zimmer Frame an acceptable proof of age?

 

No, but if you can identify a "carriage return" on an office machine that might be acceptable.

I'm 57 but I race like I am 66. Is averaging allowed?

[Pappy]

Yes, your average lap count will be like you are 66.     

[DOCinCanton]

Everybody that I know calls them "turn signals". Even when I worked at Ford, we called them turn signals. Who in the hell calls them a "directional."  

 

Besides, when I make a turn with my turn signal (turned on at the appropriate time) on, they automatically turn themselves off. Just like magic.

[Noose]

There are parts up Nawth that call dem blinkas.

[Samiam]

Who in the hell calls them a "directional".

 

di·rec·tion·al (dĭ-rĕkshə-nəl, dī-)

But who calls a car an "automobile"?
It's called a "Kaah" or "Vee Hee khoul"
 
So who's printing up 1/24 handicap parking permits?

[Half Fast]

You Geezers are a bundle of laughs (as well as aches and pains!

 

Cheers.

 

PS: I resemble this remark. 

[Mike Patterson]

So who's printing up 1/24 handicap parking permits?

How many do you want, and what month and year expiration date? Send me a sample NY permit, and I'll crank some out for you. It won't be cheap, though.

[Pappy]

Mike,

 

I think we also need to break the classes down even further. We need to have "flat belly" and "beer belly" driver class.' It's not fair that I lose sight of my car every time it passes by me on one of the outer lanes. 

[slick in the slot]

For consderation: could you make the senior division a hand-out motor class???

[Tom Thumb Hobbies]

Not this year. But under consideration for the future.

[Cap Henry]

If I dress up like a senior does that count? LOL.

[Pappy]

No, you have to also race like a senior which means you have to be watching the wrong car, brake way before the turn, don't stop if someone hollers rider on your lane, stop in the turn to let someone on the inside lane by you, and try to keep up with someone after you've bent your chassis. 

[911GT3]

If that's the criteria, then you don't qualify for the senior division. 

[DOCinCanton]

Who is going to start the "who's going to be there" posting? So far TonyP and myself got the R4 on our radar screen.
