Professional Mechanic- 38years and still at it, Turning Wrenches.
20 of those years I owned and operated a Gas Station and a Auto Repair Shop
Now I am a World Class Tech at a Premier Chevy-Caddy Dealer
Prior to My Opening My Own Shop,I started wrenching for a Living in 1980- at a Chevy-Buick-Pontiac Dealer, A/G Bodies were Practically new!
I worked on Grand Nationals when they were new!
Semi-Pro Drag Racer, I say semi pro because i have won some races and received some $$ including from the NHRA, most recently in 2015
But i do it for fun..not the Money, trust me ive spent way more than I won
I have been Drag Racing steady since 1990, but my first pass on a Dragstrip was in 1977, in a '68 Camaro at Raceway Park, Englishtown NJ
I Have Home Built and Raced 3 of my own Cars in that Period
A Vega, Small Block/Nitrous Best ET 9.06@151
A 81 Malibu Big Block/Nitrous Best ET 9.30@149
The Car i still own and currently Race is a
1941 Willys Coupe Big Block/Blown Best ET 7.63@179
I also have built as well as driven various cars for other people
I am a engine guy mostly, all my junk is Home Built
but i have built a few chassis and will even paint when i have to
I live in beautiful Upstate NY - just built myself a 40'x60' shop
I have 2 kids, son and a daughter 31 yrs and 28yrs, both out on their own
Ive owned my 1978 Malibu Wagon since 1989, I put a big block in it way back then, currently it is undergoing some changes, as its always been my b*st*rd child, because Drag Racing(along with raising a family) took any spare money i had, now i have a little disposable income to play with, so i have a renewed interest in it and im spending like a drunken sailor!
