Sixteen years old and already has a mantle full of well deserved hardware, he'll be a good one for sure!

I've known Nick for about 7 years now, and can tell you that he is a great guy (the whole family is the same way) and a great driver. He's deadly on the tree and can drive the finish line as good or better than anyone. Combine a driver like that with a good car, and watch out! Now if I could just talk him into switching to Mopar......

Hey thanks, you are a great person and driver, too !....
Hope you and your family have a great ThanksGiving and a Very Merry, blessed Christmas....Yeah, my sister and I would love to drive some Mopar, but we need to get some serious advertising partners behind us to do it....We are starting our ninth year of racing, and I hate leaving Jr. Drag racing, so many friends that feel like family...I just don't want to lose contact. My Jr. is too small for my shoulders, and the cage is also too short, but my parents don't want to pay for a new frame...so there you go...I would still love to Race the NHRA Nationals in Bristol, and the IHRA Nationals, make some more history in Jr. drag racing and have one more year with my Jr. dragsters families...so many freakn cool, awesome people in Jr. drag racing.

Thanks, I try anyways haha. I hope you and your family have a great Thanksgiving and a Merry Christmas as well. It's hard to believe next july will mark a decade of racing for me....I loved running the jr, and yes the people were/are great. The only motor I lost in that car was at mason dixon on the first time run. Pj Hixon's Dad helped us put the spare in (the spare was an 8.70 combo, the one I blew up went 8.20's) in time for qualifying, and I ended up losing to Pj in the semis that day. I ran the same car from '99 until I got out of the jrs in 05...it was outdated by then (it was a hardtail car) but it still worked o.k... My plans for next year are pretty much up in the air right now, would love to make a stocker out of the '64, as I've been getting more and more into the wrenching side of it (still love driving) and I think it would be a good challenge, as well as giving me a chance to race at a higher level than I ever have. Problem is, the sister wants to go to Catholic, and Dad is getting to the point where he doesn't want to spend all day, let alone all weekend, at the track, so I might have to be doing this on my own pretty soon. I've had good luck with the mopar stuff, and they're what I know, so for me they're the best option.




Sorry for the hijack.
