| Original Goal for car |
A car that would kick
99.8% of all ass on the street, I’ve achieved
that. |
| Present Goal for Car |
Same as original but
I want 11’s in full weight street trim…time
to go after 99.9% |
| Reason for buying car |
Always loved Mustangs,
wanted a fast car, and a White 96-98 Cobra just had
a major sentimental value to me. |
| Other cars you considered buying: |
99 30th Anniversary
Trans Am, Lincoln LS, 99+ Jeep Cherokee Limited |
| Car / Driver achievements |
Go to the track and
made 10+ passes without issues, drove right back home. |
| Shout outs to people that helped you achieve
these goals |
Thanks Dad for being
my personal mechanic, Mom for not killing me through
this entire process, and my brother for always making
me strive to be the best. All my friends for keeping
me interested and supporting me. And of course SSOTN
for putting together this great site where we are able
to get together race and make friends. Most of all thanks
to Rick Havranek for inspiring me to pursue this hobby
as well as other aspects of my life, Rest in Peace September
6, 1997. |
| Best time |
13.88 at 106 2.3 60’
with a blown rear and a few other issues…will
go 12s NA |
| Do you have any regrets along the way? |
None, Live life without
regrets. |
| What was or is your favorite vehicle to
this day and why? |
I have 2 major ones,
and both for the same reason. 87-88 GTA and 96-98 Cobra,
both were introduced to me by my best friend I lost,
and they’re both timeless designs. |
| What was your main reason was for becoming
a part of the internets first and best mustang club? |
I met Jimmy V years
ago at Englishtown and he handed me a card, I registered
but never got into it. About a year later Jules told
me about it when I met him and I realized its a lot
of local guys, I couldn't stop once I stated. |
| Who is your biggest rival on the track,
and why? |
Currently, Jules. Our
cars are just too similar, legit 12-second cars on motor
and then the nitrous. |
| What upcoming events in 2005 do you plan
on racing in if any? |
Of course the Nats in
the Spring and Fall, a few Englishtown events and of
course the street nights around here. |
| We thank you for your time, and wish you
the best in whatever you decide to do in the future. |
