City/State: Nashville, TN
Age: 24
Background: I have loved f-bodies since i was 13. I liked camaros but i feel in love with firebirds. The camaro was always too girlly looking for me but the firebird was pure muscle. Camaros, Firebirds, and Corvettes...americas muscle cars. My first car was a 1997 Pontiac Formula on a 6-speed transmission. I still have this car. I learned how to drive on my dads automatic truck, when i bought my Formula I had no idea how to drive a manual transmission other than on video games, in 3 days i was driving a manual 6-speed...however within 3 weeks the "brand new clutch" that the prev owner told me went out (which was later found it was OEM..grrrr). My bird was caged for a good 4 months with other repairs and new clutch. Once i got the modifications out on my formula i wanted to know more about performance of these machines. I went to local drag racing at the fairgrounds and soon i took part in it. I will admit in my first runs i wasnt too impressive, with one peel out that almost ended in me going into the wall about half dozen times which at 80mph would have totalled the car. Evently i went Semi-Pro. Following in the footsteps of my father which was a professional drag racer in the georgia state curcuit. I am still learning and i do not claim to know everything as a mechanic, but i know racing from the INs and OUTs, its in my blood...its in my soul.
Family: My family is my lovely wife, Chrystie, and my 4 year old son Gabriel in which i will mold and form to my liking in the motorsports world muahahahaha *cough* just kidding...or am I? And a 6 month old daughter Kaylee
