Chris,
Just to let you know that life begins at age 60 - - at least it has for me !
Shortly after my 60th birthday in 2007, I was undergoing my 2nd chemotherapy regime in a little over a year, and trying to sell my business. I successfully negotiated a sale, as I was being told that I needed bone marrow transplant. Within a few months, I was again having a nearly life ending chemo on one day whilst my brother was having stem cells harvested from his immune system, and an hour later I had his stem cells transfused into my system. That was 12 years ago, and I have been to the Salt Flats every year since 2009 except 2015, setting records from 2011 thru 2019, so this year, if it happens will be my 10th anniversary.
So keep up your spirit and get on with that project!
Tom
