As a computer illiterate, this is quite an accomplishment for me! Found this site as a tie in to an Olds site I follow. The tie in was for old timey drag race photos....I was blown away! Saw several photos of a couple of the local heros, in particular Wayne Arteaga and his Willys.
Therein lies my claim to fame....I'm a Willys fanatic, currently campaigning a steel car, and building a 'glass car to replace it as a full dedication racer. The steel car is a 10 second piece, still streetable. Hoping to shave 6-800# and go faster..9's..in the new car.
When I was a kid, Wayne and all the other gasser teams were my heros, and I swore I'd have one someday. Here I am some 40+ years later, and having the time of my life with the coupe and my friends.
I'm the front man and coordinator for our group of nostalgia racers, The Geezer Gassers.....web site www.Geezergassers.com (http://www.Geezergassers.com). All nose up, straight axle, 60's look gassers. We are invited participants at Goodguys and NHRA events.
On a personal note, married, stepchildren and grandchildren. Retired in June after 35+ years as a cop.
Thanks for the opportunity to join and share my passions.
