Title: Chronologically Enhanced Riders
Post by: matt49g on December 21, 2006, 10:35:47 PM
Just for bragging rights, do any of you CCS historians know if anybody over the age of 61 has ever won a regoinal championship?  I asked CCS in Ft. Worth but they don't have anyway of checking.

I have a friend here in Kansas City, Norbert Nickel, who is 72 (I think).  Norbert has a number of AHRMA championships, including one in 2006.   My endurance partner, Steve Davis, is 59 and runs very competitive times.  He had a heart attack at Heartland Park in 1996 and bypass surgery last year!

As I enter my mid-fifties these friends and riders give me hope.

Yeah, Norbert it still pretty fast.

I was with him at Talladega in 1996 when he had a heart attck.  Great place to have one since racers seem to watch out for each other and then you've got med transport and folks there.
