The racers,the challenge,the fun,the aggravation and the thrill of victory are all aspects that have kept me involved. I`ve stepped away before but always seem to keep coming back.

Being at the race track since 1964, the reason I love class racing so much is back in the 60's & 70's watching everybody plus my parents working their butts off during the week at normal jobs then going to the tracks, even local events working hard to get that hundredth just to be the fast person of the week. At National events back then and remember for the longest time there was just a few, if you won class it was like winning the event. they only took the class winners into the eliminator. And while we was class racing you meet and stay friends with hundreds of people and remain friends to this day. After I quit racing in 1995 I went out on a limb and thanks to Capt Jack seeing what I was doing stats wise (and I was messing around doing for my own enjoyment) the stats gig has taken off. The most filling thing about this whole deal is dealing with class racers and their families. What a wonderful group of racers from coast to coast. I just want to thank every racer I've ever met for making me feel like I was a big part of class racing even after I quit racing. Happy Holidays everybody!

I enjoy class racing for a multitude of reasons...seeing the mechanical talents of many, the innovative spirit, the close racing . I think class racing embodies all that is good in the human spirit, we are fierce competitors for 1/4 of a mile, and helping and supportive friends the rest of the time.
The biggest reason I enjoy class racing is being able to be with my friends and family. I'm a 2nd generation drag racer, grew up at race tracks following my Dad. I've been fortunate enough to watch my son grow up to be a racer, too. I have no doubt my family will have a 4th generation drag racer at some point. The times we spent together, at the race track and in the shop, strengthened our family ties. The experiences we have shared are priceless.
