Here's a group pic of the staging area at the track after the driver's meeting. Greg's right, a lot of grey haired 16 year olds! Stu

Man that is so COOL I just love to see our old trucks together!!! They just look so cool. As for the gray hair, about the only people I can count on have gray hair!! Anyone my age usually flakes out on me! And as Pete Chapouris said, when I look through the windshield of my hot rod, I do it with 17 year old eyes!! I refuse to get OLD! As long as my truck is around, I'm goin to be 17!

Truxx, you are absolutely right! I have always considered my truck as a "time machine"

When I originally built my truck, I wanted a personalized plate on it. I didn't know exactly what to put on it. I wanted to put TYMMCHNE on it, but in KY, we only have 6 spaces on our plates, so since I'm a big Buddy Holly fan. I decided to put PEGYSU on it, and the rest is history. She's been that since the beginning! In this messed up world, it's so nice to be able to go "back in time"

Enjoyed your comments about Buddy Holly. I still listen to his music in my truck and my shop. He is still my favorite rock and roll singer.

Yeah, he's my favorite, I have some real off the wall stuff no one even knows he had out. I also have some old pictures , and original posters for his concerts! They're all up around the room in my garage! I think he was a real innovator in Rock and Roll music.
