- Background & Plans
- I grew up in St Louis @ MAR. A good family friend raced a 64 USRRC Cobra. So road racing is in my blood. I got my Mustang in 1987. I moved to Omaha in 1988. I made my first trip to the drag strip in the early 90's. I also started autocrossing then. Then life, relationships, marriage, kids, ect. When I found out a road course was being built close by. I took that as a sign. As the time has flown by. My car has become a bit of a show car (3 Mustang Club of America awards 2 silver, 1 bronze 2 World of Wheels 2nd's) . But it will still see track duty. Currently I'm trying to get some miles on the fresh engine. Next year I hope to have it back on the track. In the mean time I also have a former GT3 1972 Pinto that is a blast on the track.
