How long have you been drag racing?
Since I was 16 isn't that when we all started street racing? :)
How did you get your start? Getting my drivers license
What’s been the biggest challenge to your racing program this season? Compared to last season?
Having 2 kids in 2 yrs by 2 different girls
What would you consider your biggest accomplishments as a racer?
Getting to prove what I preach.
What’s gotten you hooked on the Mustang drag racing scene?
Knowing if you want to have fun and try to make a living doing it
there was no other choice.
What are your plans for the future? Right now I'm getting
ready to build a new shop and once we are settled in my plans in 2004
are to build a 2003-4 mustang Super Street/Outlaw 10.5 car.
What changes, if any, do you feel the sanctioning bodies need to make
in order for our sport to prosper? Help get more
sponsorships I know first hand there are a few class's that need help
it cost as much I know to build a car like mine as it does to build a
PRO car
Who are your biggest friends (or enemies) at the track?
Everyone is my friend because I hope to have them all as a customer
one day :)
Who do you fear having to see at the starting line? Why?
I don't fear anyone I love to see who can cut lights.
What would you tell someone looking to start out in the heads-up racing
scene? Get a good job and plan on spending more money than
you can imagine because every yr it gets harder to win
Very briefly, tell me the dumbest
mistake you've ever made at the race track? First time I ran
a NMRA race, back in '99, I tried to do a burnout but the converter
was so tight -- the car wouldn't spin the tires after about 3 times of
going forward then backwards. I gave up and went ahead and
staged, went down the track, everything felt good, figure ok
first pass, better take it easy and lift @ the 1/8th mile marker.
Good thing, cause when I went to turn on the return road all hell
broke loose the freakin front wheels feel off the car.
Anyone you’d like to thank, wives you HAVE to thank, other things not
mentioned you feel are important? First I have to thank
Vernon House if it wasn't for him I would have had to give up by now
I'd think, he's been there from the best to the worst. 2nd,
Jimmy Graham, and all the guys that I get to race with, there's just
too many.
What music do you listen to? Who’s your favorite? I
listen to about anything no favorites
Any nick names for you? I've got a few. Weasel is
what most of my friends called me since I was about 12yrs old
(wouldn't ever know why). On the PC, I've always been called
Nitrous boy, or as Jamie Myers calls it, Nyy-trous boy. I got
the name back in 98, when I went by N20 and Jim Summers always called
my nyy---trousboy every time I called him so that's how that came
about.
Do you have any pets? Just my Girlfriend.. kidding.. lol
Do you have Kids?
Yes, 2, girl, 22 months (Ashlie), boy, 5 months (Jayden)
What do you like to do as a hobby outside of drag racing?
Is there anything outside of this? No one has ever let me know
What track do you dislike the most? Ones that are easy to
get down
Which is your favorite track to race on? Jackson TN
Do you have a lucky charm? What is it? Nope
If you could meet anybody you wanted living or not who would it be? Why?
My grandfather (Smith) he died 5 months before I was born and I just
always wondered of he was the one that gave all his kids this insane
racing blood.
