Hi guys and girls. My story so far.
Started to go to drag races back in the -70´s and completly fell in love with all the sound and feelings. Looked in my wallet but couldn't afford to have a car of my own, so I just watched it for 20 years. Then we formed a team running an AA dragster in the comp class for two years. When my buddies quit I had a big hole in my heart so I started to look around for another opportunity, and found a team with plans. We got a record setting AA comp altered from Victory race cars which we even competed with in USA, and became the first non-American team to set national NHRA records both in the 1/4 and 1/8 mile back in -87. In -92 we took the step up to pro stock and next year we will celebrate 15 years there. My involvement has now sunk a bit as I developed other interests, one of them is original hot rods, and I will get my hands on a late 40's or early 50's car one day. My next goal is to travel down the Mother road next year with my buddies from Sweden, and preferably in a big Pontiac Torpedo- 46. Maybe someone has one for me????
As soon as I get a pic of my Lickin' I'll post asap.
