You might be in your 50's if.....

You might be in your 50's if you when referring to the Drive In, your not talking about the Mc'ds happy meal kind.

You might be in your 50's, if as kids you waited until your friends and you were fishin or in the club house to cuss and even then you did it pretty quietly.

You might be in your 50's, if opening a door for a women is not sexist it being respectful.

You might be in your 50's, as in the immortal words of John Cougar Mellancamp,
Holdin' hands meant somethin.

I was in DC several years ago, going to the Air and Space museum. As I was opening the door, I noticed a family, 2 younger boys, a mom, and dad, coming up behind me, I held the door open for them, the boys were beyond themselves with excitement, and as the dad walks by, he looks at me and says 'you're not from here are ya"? I laughed, I knew what he was talking about.

He was "The Snake" even then. We were running the Ford 427 SOHC powered Super Snake, wrenched by Ed Pink and owned by Lou Baney. Don was quicker than McEwen even in a slower car. I saw him win many times solely because of his reaction times. Don, even back then was a really nice human being. I was 18 and it was an 18 year old's dream come true to ride in the car carrier with Don and to jump out of the push truck at the starting line to wipe down those huge rear skins while the 2500 HP Ford Cammer cackled away at idle.

Here's what Don and the car looked like in those days:

B
No kidding
I had a friend,a boss' grandson who was unbelievable quick on the draw. Bet all comers off the lie with his AMX
Didn't win them all but got the hole shot
Best of times
