New Guy, a little worn around the edges...

I’d like to share with you all how excited I am to rejoin the NHRA racing community! My racing exploits ended in 1979 when a far younger version of me committed to serve in our nation's NAVY which as you might expect relegated me to the ranks of an enthusiastic fan yet somewhat reluctant spectator. After retirement from active duty in 2003, I choose to continue my support of our Department of Defense as a contractor, still plugged in but with no real time to commit to active participation.

With my, no kidding, retirement now looming on the not too distant horizon I have been counseled by many, that know me well, to pick something I really love to pursue during the coming years. For me that decision was an absolute no brainer, nothing has ever made me happier than preparing for, participating in and experiencing NHRA drag racing!

I look forward to the coming years with great anticipation also to finally meeting many of you whose posts I’ve followed and am very grateful to those of you that made me welcome in your pits over the years.

Receiving my number this morning sure put a big smile on this old sailors face! I hope my story puts a smile on yours…

Warmest possible regards,

Peter A. Lanciers
