My Book

I’ve been a car guy for more than 50 years, and have been involved in some type of racing for many of those years. About 10 years of that included many runs down the quarter mile drag strip, but most of my experience was late night street racing.
One night, in the late 1990’s, we were out at one of the popular street racing spots, talking with a group of young racing fans, most of whom were much younger than me. After talking for awhile, one of the young guys asked me; “how many years have you been doing this?”  I thought for a few seconds then answered; “ I’ve been doing this for about 40 years.”  He looked at me with amazement and said; “Wow, you should write a book.”
That conversation started me thinking about all that I had experienced in my many years of racing, and all the changes I had seen in all that time.  It took a few years, but the thought kept coming back to me, “maybe I could write a book.”   I started to put some ideas together , and after a little while, I had the start of a book.  It was finished and copyrights filed in 2006.
