I'm probably a good contender for the old guy title.

Got my 1st ZR-1 (a '91) in '92 and am now the owner of BEAST2, my 3rd and probably last ZR1. I celebrated my 75th birthday August 24, of this year strapped in the navigators seat of a friend's 2006 Z06 doing the Pony Express 130 (mile) Open Road Race in the 155 mph average speed group. We had a "tech" limit of 172 mph and finished the 130 miles with an average speed time of 50 minutes, 18.028 seconds, only 334 thousandths of a second behind Ted Zaleski who took 1st place in his '90 ZR-1!

My children and grand children now have another tale to tell about the old head of the family. Corvettes keep me young and I don't intend to ever grow old!
