The Making of a Car Guy

Most of us car enthusiasts have many stories to tell. Usually when we're talking to like minded people at a car show, drag race, or other event where the car talk is common. Often when we first meet someone new, and the subject of cars comes up, we will share some of our stories, as will the new person we meet. But how many of us has taken the time to write these stories down, while they're fresh in our mind.
I may be the exception to the norm, but I was involved in cars, and particularly street racing, for so many years, some of the younger enthusiasts I associated with suggested I could write a book about my experiences. I tossed the idea around for a few years before I finally decided to actually do it. I found it pretty easy, once I got started, because so many of my racing memories are etched into my mind, and played such an important part of who I am today.
My book was first finished and copyrighted in 2006, then updated and revised for the current printing in 2012. I get great reviews from many "car guys" who have read it, often telling me that so many of my stories are like many of their own experiences. This book tells the story of the making of a car guy, a story that covers over 40 years of my life, and made me the person I am today. Sure, there were many other factors, but the book covers the development of the car enthusiast in me.
