Automotive experience strengths: Engine building. Racing. VW engine rebuilder for 7 years. All that goes along with running 1/4's and off-road. Raced Mustangs and GTO's many, many years ago on the local 1/4's Jumped to VW's at one point which brought me off road.
Message to the public: I really enjoy the challenge of "you can't do that". That means I gotta try. The computer era never hit while I was racing when I was younger. The appeal of these cars is the power you can make with only 4 cylinders and some computer tuning. Something that is totally foreign to me. BUT that's the appeal.
Goals: Making the fastest 420a NA faster and then......basically doing what what others haven't.
