Having grown up around drag racing over the 42 years of my life, I do it for the competition, friendships and being with my dad. I am very fortunate that my dad is still around and enjoys the races as much as I do. Following in my footsteps is my son who eats and breathes drag racing. At 13 years of age, he follows it more than I do.

I have made some incredible friends over the years and seeing them at the races makes it worth the time. Plus, working on the car and making it faster are the things I need to get away from the craziness of work.

What else would I spend my money on? That is the way I look at it.
