seems like more and more in here that DO NOT RACE, but always have plenty to say.....????


I've been at it for over 30 years.... pretty much made most of the mistakes.. I have my 1'st year pin -- for non participation , working on # 2. guess that makes me about 1 year out dated !!

I haven't been down the track in almost a year. If I do not get cleared by the doctor to drive,I will put someone else in it.

been racing since 1973, took 4 yrs off in 96 when my dad passed to learn our business but if it's in your blood you'll keep doing it. biggest thing is to find ways to make it fun and you'll do it forever! racing friends help the most!

Race the street car as much as I drive it on the street...not too fast, but it's fun.

Took a break from car racing to do some road racing on two wheels, but I'm back at the cars again...


Faster, Faster until the thrill of speed overcomes the fear of death...

I have a stock eliminator car that I raced in IHRA crate motor 8-10 years ago. Was going to convert to a Super Stocker when economy took a dump 6 years ago and seeing how kids are going into college this year and then a couple years later it looks like I will be out of commission for a couple more years.

I do drag race rental cars when going to towns/cities that have drag strips that I have never been to.

Sorry about that enterprise.

I took 4 years off due to family. Ive been back this year running NSS at the first 2 NMCA races of the year, the nostalgia fuel drags at Memphis and a few bracket races. I slowed the car down to run the 10.50 index instead of beating the hell out of it to run 10.00 all year. This was from last weekend...

I rarely post but I do race my 73 Cuda in Super Street. My dad races his 71 Challenger in Super Gas and my brother races his Mopar powered dragster in Super Comp.

I'll try and attach a picture of all 3.
