Anyone had their knees replaced still racing dragsters or tube chassis door cars.
AT this point I can not get in or out of my dragster. I have not had anything done yet.
Before and after comparison.
Thanks Ray

I don't race a dragster, but I had both knees done a couple years ago. Only regret was waiting so long to have it done. Just make sure to follow the surgeons directions and keep up with the physical therapy.

I don't drive a dragster either but I had one done 10 years ago and the other one 2 years ago both done by the same Dr. First was at the VA and the last was at Duke, yes same Dr. I was driving my 8.50 NHRA cert door car 1 month after the first one and about the same with the 2nd. I walk, ski, climb ladders, and a whole lot of things you wouldn't think. Oh, I am also 85 years old. Life is good. You will be glad you did.

Thanks Guys !!

I had both knees replaced over the winter. 1 in October & 1 in January. I was in the same situation as you as far as getting in my dragster. I now can get in it and my vega wagon chassis car with no problems. I went back to the gym after 30 days from surgery. I would recommend using a stationary bike as soon as possible. I have no problems any more but make sure to do your homework therapy like they tell you. I'm 53 and should have done it 2-3 years ago.

Have a friend get 1 done, He is 64, Same thing only regret was waiting to long.

Physical Therapy is the key. You need to get moving right away and can't let up.

A friend of mine who races a door car had both done and he definitely gets in and out of it better now than before.

Some people I ski with have had them done and they ski great.

Good luck! Follow all the PT and you’ll be fine
