BS

[TheRabbit]

The forum is kinda quite right now so figured it would be a good time for some BS.

How did you get started racing??

Other than racing what are your other hobby's?

What kind of music do you listen too?

My first time racing I was 15 years old sand dragging in a '83 Ford ranger with a 4cyl. Needless to say I wasn't going very fast, (It was a Ford. How fast can they go? :lol: ) but it got me hooked. I had a 79 F 150 (yes, I use to be a die hard Ford guy :oops: :oops: ) that I raced ( Mud Bogged / Sand Drag. for years, but sold it when I got married. (BAD MISTAKE).

Other Hobby's. Right now racing is my only hobby. I go so hard at it I'll burn myself out before to long. I use to have a boat and jet ski and spent many summers at the river. I raced remote control trucks and played a lot of golf until I started having hip and back trouble then I got back into racing.

Music. I'm stuck in the 80's Rock and Roll. I use to listen to country, but haven't in years.

Well I just got into racing about a year ago and am working on a car now won't be the fastest one but it will be fast enough.

Other than racing the only real hobby I seem to have is work.lol. But I like to go mud riding and go out in storms a video tape them and take pictures.

I listen to 70's-80's Classic Rock/Hard Rock bands like Ratt,Journey,AC/DC,Led Zepplin,Jimi Hendrix,Cinderella,Joe Walsh and other great artist/bands like that.

I did a lot of street racing in my youth 25+ years ago

went to the NHRA US Nationals back in 1988 and have only missed 1 year since.

ran my first car down the track in 2005, been through 3 race cars since then and have now kinda quit racing and gone all the way back to a bone stock and beautiful 67 Firebird 326HO

Most of my music is rock and roll with a splash of hard rock, 60-70-80-90's and newer, it dont matter...

Sweet ride and nice digs Harb. Started in 2000 had a 77 vette that ran high 14. Swaped for a 383 and had the vette running 11.70s. Puked a few rearends on it so bought a Vega put the 383 in it and was running 10.20s swaped that motor out put in a 496 from Nyes and went 9.20s . Finally sold that so the wife can show her quarter horses at a higher level. may race again someday.Still enjoy it from the bleachers.

So i stepped back so she can pursue her stuff. I can always run street elimanator at our track but am quite content drinking suds and watching. For now that is....

Pheonix FB Raceway, 1987. I was a 17 yr old kid w/a 72' Chevelle that was pretty slow... it was in the high 15's I think.... maybe 16's. I brought it to "anything goes" night on Wednesdays (all you needed was a seat-belt & a windshield in good shape) & you could run almost anything. I believe on one of these nights I saw a VW bug completely blow away my friends 69 Chevelle w/a 400SBC which was built & ran in the high 12's... the VW beat him by 3-4 car lengths. I was a VW motor (not sure what was done to that car, but it was FAST).

I like dirt bikes. I enjoy bow-hunting & shooting. I do not ride high-speed scooters anymore... not a good hobby for me. I like Nitro RC cars. I love God, my country & my wife of 11 yrs & my children are my biggest hobby. I have a 69 Camaro w/a BBC & it is a pro-street car... love to work on her... her name is "Nectar"... because she is like Nectar to me when I make her scream... that is why she is a 69.

Music: Country: Waylon Jennings. Rock: Motley Crue/ Billy Idol 80's. Alt Rock AIC/STP & stuff like that... Rage Against The Machine. 3-doors down, etc... Johnny Cash. Scooter

My first pass down the track I was 17 at the high school drags with a '68 Camaro with too much carburetor and too much cam it was a pooch but that was all it took. Then shortly after high school I became self employed and pretty much took all my time except in the winter. So I started drag racing snowmobiles on the ice in 1/8 mile. Started out in Improved Stock then went to Pro Stock. Had an Arctic Cat 600 triple that would run low 6's at 105mph. It was one of the fastest in the midwest. Then tried racing on the grass with a Pro Stock 1000. It ran 4.9's-5.0 in 500'. It was scary fast at the time. Now I run my Nova in 1/4 mile. Low 9's@145 and love it.
I play a little golf and go camping with my wife when we can find time.

Dang, Beast Lucky a '68 Camaro you we're the kool guy huh?

[DirkaDirka]

Ok where do I start.......

Ok I got into racing even before I was old enough to drive. I would go with my grandfather to the local dirt track or the local asphalt track and what them go round and round. As I got older my need for speed grew more and more. When I was stationed at Fort Campbell, KY I would go to the local 1/8th track that they opened up for street cars at midnite on Fri and Sat nites and make a few passes and just have fun in my Celica.


My other hobbies include( and not in any particular order) Riding my quad, Wrenching on cars as well as doing auto body and paint, messing with the horses, and spending time with family and friends.

Music I listen too is mainly Country, but when I am working on the cars I will listen to Classic Rock and Oldies(50's-60's)

What kind of music do you listen too.

Well as a car mechanic getting into drag racing was a no brainer and with 4 tracks within 50 miles of memphis was a help too.

I bought and built my first "real" purpose built dragcar in 1989.
It was a 81 Z28, 355 SBC, T350, big 10 rearend W/513 gears, 9 inch slicks.

My other hobbies include music, I'm a drummer and I like to slam them skins when I can but with racing season in full swing and 2 cars to maintain I havent played much lately.

Music> country, rock, jazz, folk, bluegrass, R/B - I'll listen to anything pretty much, but I really dont care for ghetto rap or opera much.
