So when you shoot your age it's just a par day, that's a bummer

 

[SLAPHAPPYFRANKY]

The over the hill gang tends to keep the car in 1 piece. Youthful ambition is not something you want in a 24 hour race.

Depends on the person really.

22, graduated with a electrical engineering degree

 

[Jake]

I just turned 46, I can't see and have the reflexes of a slug.

(37) Well I must really suck as you are still kicking my butt at the Cape 👍

[Dr_Watson]

I'm 31 which certainly means I'm too old to win but I'll have fun trying.

32, just started using the DFPRO (friend gifted me his) for this competition and moving up in the ranks now (finally!). Nice to see that there are plenty of others in my "age group" out there...

 

[thesynergy87]

turning 24 in < 1 month. kinda sad and depressed wasting my youth working IT lol oh well

 

[TRC Scooty]

Don't see how that's a waste, I've been in IT ever since I was in the Coast Guard and despite my last job getting outsourced, there's still plenty of great opportunities out there. I'm just hoping the job market gets better in the next 3 years while I'm in school .

 

[GDBtoFA5]

I guess im the youngest one so far at 18!
Ive always wanted to become a professional race car driver so hopefully this will be my shot at it haha. I was ranked 11 in the midwest overall but I havnt played in like 6 days been so busy with work now that its the holidays, so im sure im not at 11 anymore
Good luck to all!

And to you older folks saying they wont let you in the finals, they probably will if you can prove yourself that your physically up to the challenge.

@TRC Scooty

I guess what I meant was I've been doing IT since I was 19, wasted my college days for a 40 hour+ a week job lol It's worked out though, get to buy fun toys and go out to nice dinners with the gf, so it's not all bad.

 

[Kreepnslayer]

36 here. I'll never stop.

 

[Randum311]

i remember posting on these threads and getting people saying "oh you're still in school, you're not old!" now I'm 27, definitely feel old...but I sure hope 30 isnt middle age! I thought 30 was the new 20?

 

[JoeH187]

nah, middle age is 50. Last I checked people of all ages enjoy motorsport.

 

[Lord Grey]

I thought 30 was the new 20?

Around here, 45 (my age) seems to be the new 85. So 30 must be the new 56.67.

 

[aargod228]

35....work for a relatively small charter airline as Director of Operations... was a pilot (Do228/Do328/Do328Jet/B737) other aircraft as well, but the 228 was by far, the absolute best to fly!.

 

[Dragon_Dude]

44 and movin on to round 2. 250 ton hot metal crane operator with an architecture deg that I never used to get a job lol.

 

[GT Motion]

...wasted my college days for a 40 hour+ a week job lol It's worked out though, get to buy fun toys and go out to nice dinners with the gf, so it's not all bad.

Same here, I got an internship at Washington Mutual Bank right out of high school and started working full time, never went to college, now I am 26, think about taking ITT Tech classes or something, not sure, haha.

 

[Ragged_Mile]

Middle aged? we're 30 not dead lol.

Middle aged is like 40 something!

I'm 47, but act like I'm 21! I would say 18, but then I wouldn't be able to buy beer.

As far as job goes. I'm a mechanical designer for a defense contractor working in Naval Aviation.

I'm 19, just got out of high school last year and took a full-time job/internship at Perfect Sense Digital (fastest growing technology company in DC).
Applying to colleges for next year, but it will be hard to walk away from the pay....

 

[Seankf1105]

Forgot about posting ITT


24 here, going for my BS in Mechanical Engineering at Umass Lowell

 

[LeftyWright69]

At 50+ and missing the cut by .7 I think it was my DFGT dead spot that got the best of me and not my age

[OutlawQuadrnt]

Turned 26 two months ago.

I feel like a racing vet, though, since I've played racing games since 1991.

 

[billyjoebobx]

I've been 21 for 8 years. So 29...technically.

Funny, I've been 21 for 19 years now. So 40...technically.
