I started in 1974, my dream was to run Modified Production some day, then that plan was changed to Super Stock...I did run S/ST from '93 to 2002, cost to payback ratio sent me back to brackets. I couldn't imagine doing it today, entry fee $200 and payout the same as 1993??? And the contingency payouts are a fraction of what they used to be.

Now we have seatbelts every 2 years, next year a new helmet (snell 2000 no good), $7.50 racing gas...I can hang a few more years, I guess...

Started pit crewing for dad's 52 Plymouth coupe at Pacemakers Drag Strip at the age of 6 and started driving his Chrysler powered Willys at National Trail Raceway at the age of 15. Still racing Chrysler products and still have the old Willys. My paper work says that I am 60 now.

Turned 29 this past year and have been driving since I was 10 years old. So that makes the upcoming 2012 season my 19th season behind the wheel.

Hard to believe it has been that long. Started running a Jr Dragster at Fairmont Dragway in the fall of 1994 and havent looked back since. My first pass was a blistering 16.57 @ 41 MPH but I caught the bug after I hit the throttle the first time and havent looked back since.

This sport has given me many things, hell I met my wife at the dragstrip in 2003. I have made so many life-long friends and have found an extended family.

Been street racing since the late 70's, not much track time, but always did it safely.

58 and not really feeling it yet. started racing in 1973 with a 1965 satellite (which I still have). I took a short break (6yrs) in the late 90's to learn our business better, then started again around 2002 with nostalgia super stock. It's a blast met lots of great guys. I'm the goof on the left.

Went to my first race at Santa Ana with my older brother 1954. Started racing in 58 with my 51 Ford at Long Beach and San Fernando. Quit racing in 67 and started again in 92. Raced until 02 when they fused my neck and I had no money. Built a street car that I now race ocasionally when the body and money are both OK. I'm 70 now,
