    Just wanted to take a moment to say hello and introduce myself. I grew up in Southern Ohio following my uncle to the Drag Strip. I has the gopher, tool getter, water boy, etc... My uncle drove a 1957 Chevy in the Modified Eliminator class. It had a 302 from a 1969 Z-28 Camaro in it. The engine was built by Dave Midletons Performance Clinic.

    I had quite a few muscle cars in the 70's. The first was a 1966 Ford Galaxie 500, next was a 1964 Chevy II and finally a 1965 Chevelle Malibu.

    I joined the USAF in 1979 and spent many years overseas so my Hot Rod car hobby and racing took a long hiatus.

    I finally got back to the USA permanantly in 1998. In 2001 I restored a 1 owner 1967 Camaro RS. Unfortunatley I had to sell it. I also raced a nice 1992 Mustang around that time in the Florida panhandle.

    I am currently living in Palmdale, California, but spend most of my time in Long Beach were I work for Homeland Security.

    My current ride is a 2004 Corvette Coupe.

    I will be posting pictures of my cars and some of my old Drag Race photos from Tucson Drag Strip from the early 80's when I get a chance.

    I am putting up a photo of my 1967 Camaro and my 2004 Vette here.

    Thanks,
