14 time Merritt Speedway LM champion Frank Seder started racing LM again last year. He is atleast in his late 60's if not 70s.
This man amazes me. If you didn't know who he was.....you wouldn't know he was 76 years young. #PUREBEASTQuote:

Larry Damitz, the west coast legend who passed away last month, was winning Late Model races till near 80 when he stepped down to Limited Late Models, mostly because the LMs are near non-existent out here anymore. He won a semi at the Arizona winter races at Casa Grande at 75. Last season he was track LLM champion at Antioch (CA) Speedway for the 5th time in the last 6 years. Had 6 wins, 5 2nds and a couple of 3rds. Also had 2 more championships at Merced Speedway in that period and a couple of wins last year in his old hardtop too. He had just returned from the '17 Arizona races as a spectator when he passed away suddenly at home a couple of months before his 88th birthday. Fifty year olds are kids.
how old is Mcdowell
Red Farmer
Red's around 80 but nobody knows for sure and he won't tell. He was running a few limited or crate shows a couple of years back but don't know if he's still at it and I don't believe he's won for quite a while.
Saw Red at the ice bowl this year, he still gets around tst pretty darn good.
Also ole Tom Darby is over 80 and still racing Dixie and n ga last year
Kevin weaver!!
McDowell will be 51 in May.Quote:
