    Hi All.
    Like the heading says, I am a raceaholic.I went to the drags in '59 and never came back.I started by racing altered's in '60-61 with my neighbor Bob yeager , graduated to Super Stockers for a few years and went funny car racing with Paul Stefansky in '69.Also worked for Connie Kalitta, Shirley Muldowney, Sidney Foster and kicked around helping various people until I moved to Fla in '73.
    I've been the track manager at Moroso Motorsports Park, Miami-Hollywood, Darlington Dragway and my last gig was co-manager at Orlando Fla.
    In between real jobs , I've always had a Harley shop, ran drag bikes for 10+ years, was a road manager for the Allman Brothers Band and Gregg Allman Band.
    I now race Extreme Pro Mod with Dan Bandish from Melbourne Fla. We do all the ADRL, some Super Chevy, Quick 8 races around the Southeast.
    I have a story or two to tell, but usually don't as people who weren't there in the glory days of barnstorming funny car racing think you're bullshi**ing.
    I'm getting old and forgot half the stuff I've done, but every now and then someone will remind me of the time-------- etc.
    Thats why i use the name IUSTABE. I ustabe a lot of things, but I've always been a raceaholic and proud of it.
    it's not just a disease, it's a life sentence
