I’ve been racing since I was 15 years old. At 15, I broke the ring and pinion in my Mom’s 74 Impala by doing a “reverse drop” to get the tires smoking! I was hooked! I’ve run and raced Chevelle's for the most part since then as that is the car I like. I joined the U.S. Navy at 19 and did a 20 year stint and raced a little during that time. I was not racing full time due to commitments and deployments overseas but kept in the sport by racing at Carlsbad Raceway and Pomona in California in my 71 Chevelle. I joined the Wiseguys in 2008 with my current ride which is a 70 Chevelle and have had a great time racing with the team. The team has such great people and the fans are fantastic. I feel really blessed.
I ran a 14-71 Roots supercharger from 2008 until 2010 which netted a best of a 6.62 at 212 MPH. At the beginning of 2011, I went to a PSI-C Screw Charger and it has been an odyssey of inconstancy since then, LOL. The best times achieved is a 6.25 in the quarter and the fastest time has been 229.66. Over the last year, a lot was learned and I expect to pick up the performance greatly. |
