Hey, everyone:

I know I've already introduced myself, but since you were asking....

I grew up in upstate New York, and first got hooked on LSR when the Blue
Flame was setting the speed record. (Anyone know where that car is now? I
know Gary Gabelich died in 1984.) I was also into the Green Monster and
Goldenrod (I guess I like colored cars)....

Got my Super Gas license a couple of years ago, and raced for a bit in
Division 1 (Englishtown, Lebanon Valley, Maple Grove, etc.). Then ran out of
money (for racing, anyway).

I've lived in NYC since '79, and car building is a little more of a
challenge here, as you can imagine. I'm looking at some garage space right
now, so once I have that squared away, I'll buy the block. And then, watch
out Bonneville.... :)

Gary
