Johnny...there are many good things associated with aging. I'm a few years behind you. but already seeing the benefits. I'll list a few and see if you can add some more.1. The older we get...the better we look...for our age.2. The older we get the less we are expected to know about hi-tech stuff...so it gets easier to impress folks3. The older we get the wiser we become...sure it gets tougher to retain and recall it...but its there4. The older we get ....flirting becomes more acceptable....hehe...so keep an eye on your spouses...as johnny has already admitted....he may lay one on her.

I've noticed two main effects of aging when discussing racing with younger fans....depending on the person listening, eitherA. My stories of the past become more impressive. orB. My stories of the past become more irrelevant.

the generation behind me,this is aimed at you--i really hope you are able to get around and pursue your dreams--but most of all i hope you can get around as good as i can when you top that hill into the second dhildhood----i dont know what makes it happen but i never drank or smoked,tried it for awhile, and as far as those devises that people spend fortunes on called dope,for the lack of anything else to call it, i never had time for it--- My dad always told me Wine Women and Racecars never mix so no wine either. I have lived my life to its fullest and and today i am in as good a shape physically as most cup drivers, i just passed that demanding test you are subjected to before you get your ticket punched to drive.With that said all you folks out there behind me take care of yourself so we can go at least another 65 years after you reach the go line of tomorrow ---with that said HAPPY H O L I D A Y S and keep the thoughts on record for your-----------------------------------------------memories

Johnny, my mother lived to be 89. She said she enjoyed being old. When she was young, she had to watch what she said and when she got old she could say anything she wanted because who was going to hit a little old lady. Age does have some advantages. johnny mallonee said:
