"Squat to pee"........old Kentucky phrase from part of my misspent youth. Sorry about that.

Grew up with stick shift cars, still love them today. Almost feel like wearing noseglasses when i drive my automatics. Couldn't do much with stick shift cars for years in bracket racing, but the Pure Stock scene is very heavy with stick shift cars since so many of them came with them back then. We always put a set of headers and slicks on them years ago, and a stick will flat out blow most automatics away on launch. Nothing greater than the "Old Reliable II" 62 bubble top or the "Fountain of Youth" 67 Fairlane grabbing second with the wheels still in the air like Ronnie Sox used to do. Yeah!!!!

You see many Pure Stock cars that run 105-110 in the 12's consistently with automatics, but most run well up into the 13's with the sticks. There are very few though, that are consistent low 12's with the stick shift cars. Takes a really good driver.

I'll buy that.

As they say, growing old is inevitable, but growing up is optional. Once you're old, why give up the latter? 62 in a coupla weeks, that'll make 40 years of building and racing cars.

Even growing up has different interpretations!
