I attempt to race,, had three runner up's so far in my quest for speed,,as far as knowledge of the sport,,there are a lot of people that know a whole lot more than me so I usually keep my ignorance to myself, unless I can back up what I say

I am a 3rd generation racer. My Grandfather is in the Texas Dragracers Hall of Fame. There are three cars in our stable with just my Mom and I, and I also race a Stock Eliminator car for my Aunt and Uncle. I run two classes every chance I get. I build all my own motors and do as much of the work on the cars as I can. I just turned 28 in August. I will be racing on 5 Gold cards in 2011 so even with a baby on the way I should be able to race a bunch. Was probably the only Mopar guy around my highschool when I graduated in 2001.

Only 8 passes this year due to work commitments. Hope to get back out next year.

Does it still count if the car I've been racing for the past 21 years has been up on jack stands for 2 1/2 years?

I did a little racing this year.Hope to do a lot more next year.Have been doing it for 44 year's now.Someday I'll get the hang of it.

is it too late for

Keyboard racer fer sure!

I'm addicted to drag racing, and I am not looking for a cure!

Use to make it to the track 2 times a week. Now really no time or motivation to head to the track. Got something better, few buddies and I own an old airstrip. We go there, heads up racing all weekend, pass after pass

Race as much as work will allow..

I ran 140 passes this year.
Probably less posts than that! LOL

And I do it all. Driver, crew chief, mechanic, wash boy, stage person, tow driver, owner, sponsor...

I toke a leave of absense for 2 years, it was approved
due to a blown motor, and no time to get car back together
But will have car back together soon. By the way
I race all the time on the streeet, lite to lite.

I race, just don't have too much comment about. I do learn from the few, very knowledgeable people that know what they are talking about. The rest is pure entertainment.

I race my street trucks every chance I get. I really enjoy driving in, putting trailered cars back on the trailer, then passing them again out on the hiway.

I wish my latest "effort" would have gone better. I spent 74 hrs at the track for Pinks... And only 2 timeslips to show for it. (and both bad)

I am 62 years old and started drag racing at Shuffletown Dragway when I was 13 with a B/gas 41 Ford coupe. Raced 392 hemi AA/Fuel dragster in 1969 and got over that. Went Super Stock - Match Racing in "the days" of drag racing. Yes I have worked all day on a Monday got home traveled and hour or two to make 2 out of 3 match race runs, got home in time to shower and go to work only to get home that Tuesday and go race again. Those were the days when tracks would bring in SuperStocks and Funny cars on a week night and pack the stands.

At Roxboro dragway, the night Hemipart drove the Motown Missle against Hemi Fred. He said he could not see the track for the camera flashes. My comment to him was "welcome to SuperStock match racing, now you know what it was really like in those days." My wife and I quit racing when Hemiparts was born. About three years ago he wanted to build a car and go racing. We built a Plymouth Duster, exactly like it would have been built and raced in the 70's. We race as a three generation family of drag racers. The name of the race team is Chris3 Racing. My son, Hemiparts, is Chris, my oldest grandson, 12 years old is Chris, and my youngest grandson, CJ ( Chris Jr.) is 4 years old. We race when ever we can. I made my wife a promise that if there was no sponsor money in the racing account we would not be racing. She spent many long nights riding up and down the road working on race cars and eating "hamburger helper" in order for me to enjoy the sport of drag racing. Now we spend a lot of time at drag race reunions getting a chance to re-live those days.

I have a big picture hanging on my wall, taken at Pinks All Out at Z-max with me, my son, Hemipart, Little Chris and CJ all working under the hood of the car. That picture is priceless. I hope that in some way my resume would qualify as a "drag racer."
