You're a hero! I would almost pay money to sit back and watch peoples reactions.

I mean this in all seriousness and respect. You are not letting age or health slow you down.

My GR86 is in the mail and I am close to 45 myself. But most people still eyeball me in my thirties and my maturity level might not even top that so a GR86 is right up my alley.

I'm still strong and energetic and I can finally afford the cars that I've always wanted to drive so here I am.

On track for 71 year, thats really impressive, the racing world has changed quite a bit during that time

We had a racer here in Sweden who raced a pretty fast ford Escort BDA in historic wheel to wheel racing beyond his 90s,
