Hi Comeback,
Be careful when you race.
Here's a site that you may want to read.
https://www.dragzine.com/features/editorials-opinions/top-10-tips-for-your-first-time-at-the-dragstrip/
P.S. If you die drag racing, we're gonna sell your horn to a sax player!
Have fun and be safe.

Thank you, Dr-Mark! Very helpful site! And concerning selling my horn, a sax player? Please, not that!

Come back alive and its off the table. Otherwise...….
But seriously, have a great time!

@Vulgano-Brother
If you look close, you can see Kenny G circling Uranus looking for Klingons.
I would have spared Kenny but he pissed me off. I was surfing YouTube and saw Kenny G does Giant Steps. I thought to myself, "Alright! the guy does good mainstream pop and pleases a lot of people but here's a situation steeped in jazz and I can see what he really can do.
So I open the site and all he does is circle breath a single note while the band plays the Giant Steps harmony. Sad! Fake Giant Steps.

Absolutely meaningless, maybe even incomprehensible, for most. But, at age 67, I am planning on drag racing for the first time with my 2006 Mustang GT this weekend.

You will love it! It's a great way to learn focus, self-control, and confidence, which you will find enhances your approach when you play a solo.

ADDENDUM - Don't forget the old adage: "The best way to make a small fortune is to start with a large fortune, and go auto racing."

That ADDENDUM makes sense to me, J. Jericho!

Or collect boutique trumpets.

You are probably right about the "boutique" trumpets but things you collect for cheap can advance in price. C&R Mosin Nagants and C&R Turk Mausers that were delivered to my door for $50 each, or three for a hundred in some cases, 18 or 20 years ago now go for $300 each or more. I had no trouble in selling a dozen at a gun show in the morning of one day.

Some trumpets that nobody prizes today may still increase in value.... as soon as people realize that the standard of workmanship and materials from many decades ago is better than much of what is offered today at affordable prices. And the trumpets from way back when were made to play the same notes as the ones made today. They don't look as pretty as a new Chinese horn, but the materials you don't see on the surface are better engineered and usually made of finer materials.

I probably didn't ask enough for those old C&R guns, come to think of it.

@Tobylou8 That's meaningless for sure. Here's another example of something that is meaningless and amusing at the same time.

Excellent. Just trying to get us back to meaninglessness. Even my explanation violates the purpose of the thread. LOL

My specialty is “depreciating”, not “appreciating”, collectable trumpets. Unfortunately, it is unlikely that I will live long enough to see them be recognized in the class of the the “Martin Committee” or the “Olds Super Recording” of today. Even those horns, when you look at what they cost retail 70 years ago and are selling for today, and take inflation into account, at best they have held their value, but not appreciated in the buying power of their current sales price.
They will become valuable and appreciate in value however after my wife, children, or grandchildren sell them in a yard sale and the buyer flips them.
