Just some guy who like many of us keyboard crew cheifs, grew up around this sport. We appreciate the history of this sport, and hope for the best for the future of our sport, even if it includes the countdown....(sorry PJ!  ). But, I also have goals of racing professionally in drag racing. Bobby, is giving me the opportunity of a lifetime to let the racing world know a bit about me, and my goals. I can not thank him enough for this. I'm also going to learn alot about the one side of our sport that I have not experienced, the media and responsible journalism, and nobody does it better than the guys at competitionplus.com.
It also gives me a chance to let the world know about my friends, (the Mater's and such) who are helping me reach this goal. So, what's good for me, is good for you guys too!
We're gonna recap the Monday Chat's, (hopefully getting more of our favorite drivers, crew cheifs and OWNERS  to jump on in for a night of chat with their most diehard fans). I'll also get a chance to talk about my sponsorship meetings, and what steps I am taking to achieve my goals in life. Also, just some of the daily "weirdness" that goes on in my life. Oh, did I also mention that I get to blog with the likes of Robert Hight, V. Gaines, Urs Erbacher, FELLOW MATER Laurie Cannister, Charles Womack (which BTW please read up on his project which is honestly the coolest thing I've read about in a long time!) and some dude named Bobby Bennett!
So, once again, thanks for the support guys and gals! I look forward to writing this blog every week! Stay Tuned!
Timmah! |
Tim I think calling yourself a keyboard crew chief is uncalled for in this case! I doubt many on Nitro Mater can say they've gone 7.50's in the 1/4! I'd like to be able to say I've gone under 10 seconds in the 1/4 let alonbe 7's!

Injected Alcohol 565 madcap front motored Nostalgia (well, not so nostalgia 2005 225'wb Front motored car) out of Nebraska that we tested up here at bandimere a few months ago. Got "Baptised" @ 1000' with oil as the left valve cover came loose while going down track... that was fun. The Car still ran 7.41 lifting at about 1200'! But, i've also driven quite a few Super Comp/Top Dragster cars of friends of mine in "PRACTICE MODE", throttle stops off running in the low 7 second zones. Not a TAFC, but I definatly got INTRODUCED to front motored cars, and now LOVE EM! Thx for asking! Might get a chance to drive a blown alcohol 23T before the end of the season. Heck, I'd drive anything with wheels right now!

Re: Oh timmah
Hey, I am even more tardy than you guys. I talked to Tim via text some. That is cool. But, does this mean I have to read the Myspace blog, then Comp plus blog, the video's and everything else? No wonder he calls me one of his stalkers...
