Total world domination of the NMRA Factory Stock Class

| Do you have any regrets along the way? |
Not a one…..Anyone that has a chance to go Heads up racing go, and go full force, it’s a trip. But be prepared for Mayo sandwiches at 4am somewhere 20 miles west of East Bumbleweed.
|
| What was or is your favorite vehicle to this day and why? |
I tell every one this and it may not be a popular answer but, if I had to live with one car for the rest of my life it would be my 87 Grand National, Sorry but it’s the truth.
|
| What was your main reason was for becoming a part of the internets first and best mustang club? |
I saw the logo on a car at the races and then Spence turned me on to it. I then noticed it was full of people from my neck of the woods, so why not hang here. Very cool place and from the people I have met at the SSOTN Nats I dig it.
|
| What do you do for enjoyment besides street racing? |
Ummm, is there anything else? Okay, I do enjoy drinking beers and smooching my wife.
|
| What upcoming events in 2003 do you plan on racing in if any? |
All 8 of the NMRA events, More than likely WFC 6, E-towns Ford Weekend, SSOTN Nats, and hopefully the MHRA series held at Lebanon Dragway outside of Albany, NY
|
| One last question, What is your favorite part of SSOTN, and why? |
I dig the support of the members. I feel that we actually car about what’s going on with other members rides and like to become involved with other peoples rides.
|
| We thank you for your time, and wish you the best in whatever you decide to do in the future. |
Thanks, and anytime anybody wishes to come hang out at the events your more than welcome. BTW: My beer is much colder that Spence’s, And I won’t make ya pack the chute to get some(I go too slow for a chute) |
