Hi!!!!! I'm Jim and have been into cars and racing for 40 plus years.. I started young. When I was growing up, my next door neighbor had a relatively new '65 Dodge Coronet 440 with a 426 hemi that he bought from Mr. Norm's Grand Spaulding Dodge. I'd hang out at his garage and listen to his advice and drag racing stories. It was my baptism into hot rods and racing. Ever since then I've been hooked. I just found H.A.M.B. and looking forward to a great experience here.

Hi Jim: Worked in Bolingbrook for ComEd over by White Fence Farms. We had a good time there. Good Places to eat for lunch. Always wanted to stop at that speed shop in Plainfeild, but they moved us to Braidwood about 9 years ago. Good to have a fellow Ill noise n aboard. It is the most active board I have ever been on, you will be glad you signed on. Take Care Don
