Jim Lingar, a.k.a. "The Racing Engineer", still runs all of the SOD races. I have no idea how old he is but I am guessing over 70. If not..... uh.... Sorry, Jim.

Heck of a nice guy, too. He went out of the park at Hartford last year - over the Turn 1 wall. We all held our breath but he was fine. His yellow & blue #70 sprinter landed on all four wheels. After the race, I asked him in the pits what when through his mind as he was headed over the wall.

"I closed my eyes," he said without hesitating.
