Eric Berman, for not only being a great friend but for
opening up new doors in the performance world for us. Mike
Eustin, not only a great friend who puts other people's
cars before his, but the best tech I've ever had the pleasure
of working with. Matt & Chris Grieves, thank you for
all your help around the shop and all the late nights. Adam
Arndt (Black90GT) your enthusiasm and hard work kept us
going in the wee hours. Kris Kunkul, you came through when
I needed it most - thanks for all the help around the shop
and with my car. Gator Jackson and Matt "Flounder",
not only are you great customers, but also great friends.
Mike Rockwell, not only a fantastic friend, but your advice
is always sound and welcomed. To all our customers - who
help us keep our doors open and feed us new and exciting
challenges every day. Last but not least, my father, Joe
Sr. (Pops), if it were not for you none of this would be
possible for any of those listed, including myself. |
| |
| What is your Best 1/4 time? |
12.78 @ 107 hitting the rev limiter at the traps (that's
my story and I'm sticking to it). |
| |
| Do you have any regrets along the
way? |
| Missing out on time with my wife and family due to my passion
for racing. |
| |
| What was or is your favorite vehicle
to this day and why? |
| 1965 Mustang Coupe (must be a K code, 4 speed, 4 barrel,
289, HiPo with a solid lift cam ~ the first Mustang body style
that paved the road for legends! |
| |
| What other things do you enjoy
besides cars? |
| Spending time with my family, playing guitar and hanging
out with good friends. |
| |
| What upcoming events in 2007 do
you plan on racing in if any? |
| In 2007, if time permits, I would like to run open comp
but I have many plans for our sponsored cars and they come
first. |
| |
| What is your favorite thing about
the Nats? |
| Besides the racing, hanging out with old and new friends,
meeting new people and being aorund a group of people who
share the same passion for drag racing that I do. |
| |
| How did you find SSOTN? |
| Eric Berman and Mike Eustin turned me onto the site. |
| |
| How long has ACA Performance been
in your family? |
| My parents established the original ACA over 20 years ago. |
| |
| What is it like running ACA Performance? |
| I cannot take all the credit for that, because my father
is the heart and soul of the company. It can be hectic at
times, we're always trying to meet deadlines to satisfy our
customers' needs. But where else can you work that allows
you to see some of the most beautiful cars on the planet,
hear the roar of loud engines, smell the intoxication of race
fuel and still get a paycheck for it? :) |
