I for one hope he never retires! Chris Karamesines is in his mid 80's and still going. Force is 68. Driving a 10,000 plus hp wheelbarrow is no picnic and when they get out of the groove or go one to one and smoke the tyres, you're a passenger, regardless of who you are. The sport needs guys like him, as most of who come thru these days are sponsor driven robots. I miss the days of Al Hofmann, Whit Bazemore, Warren Johnson, Bob Glidden, Snake, 'Goose and the many others who were real race car drivers. More power to him!
