How old is Austin getting to be? I am sure it wont be long and he will
retire.

I don't know but he seems to have aged quite a bit in the last few
years. Gained a lot of weight, too. In interviews, he's said that there
are a few things he would like to do before he dies- like taking a long
European motorcycle trip.

I'm willing to bet that Coil will tune as long as Force drives. When
Force gets out of the seat, that would be a good time for Coil to go on
"emeritus status" as they say at the colleges. He could either quit and
go home or stay on as an adviser. Kinda like what LaHaie did with
Kalitta last year.

Didn't we just go through this last fall?

I guessed that because he worked in a dealership as a mechanic in the '65
timeframe after dropping out of high school he was now in his mid sixties.

No possible. He has to be older than that. He's older than Force, that's
for sure. I'm pretty sure they mentioned his 65th birthday a while back
on a website.
