If you've been going to Moroso/PBIR for a while, you've probably seen my Camo S10. Hell, you may have even seen me kiss the wall and slide down the track on the roof! I wrecked it in 2008 at Super Chevy Show. *mumbles under his breath about M/T Tires* HOOSIER OR BUST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Re: My other hobby

Nothing that fast or mean, but I did have a D/G 55 bowtie with a fiberglass front end in ancient times.

I actually just sold my 67 Mustang coupe a few months ago which is now somewhere in Belgium. I miss rowing the gears on that toploader though.

My son has a supercharged NSX that is fun to drive on the freeways.

Now that the Mustang is gone, I have more money for fishing stuff!

Re: My other hobby

I ran B gass in a taco wagon (Anglia) with a Corvette engine in the mid 60's. Then came the factorie teams and spoiled the whole sport.

Re: My other hobby

My friend has a 2001 explorer that was are going to drop a Fully Built Viper motor (v12) into, blown, nitrous, looking at around 3000 horsepower, if everything goes properly.

Should be a 6 second car on the 1/4 mile. If we build it, I'll post pictures of the build on here.

It will be the baddest Ford Explorer ever

Re: My other hobby

Had a match race with Shirley Shahan (Drag-On Lady) in Wichita once. I backed up to the fence which was about a hundred feet behind the start line and took off from there. Shirley was on the start line and and got the green light when I passed her. I felt my car rock as she passed me 3/4 the way down. Ah memories.
