I've been into motorcycles, hot rods and such since the late 1960s. I took a bike down a drag strip for the first time in 1973. Since then I've had a lot of hot bikes, including a Pro-Stock drag bike in the early 1980s.
My current street bike is a stock Kawasaki ZX-14 and my drag bike is a 1400cc turbocharged Suzuki Hayabusa.
I was starting on a junior fuel front engined dragster about a year ago and really became disillusioned with the direction (i.e. cubic dollars) that the sport has gone. With bikes it's not too bad. For cars it's become insane. I did some soul searching and decided that for what the dragster would cost me I could build an airplane and get a lot more seat time. So I hung the rail on the wall and started on a Van's RV-6a. It's going to take a while to build it but it should be fun and will give me time to learn to fly.
I've also got a 406" Chevy powered Pontiac Fiero. The engine is out of it because it ate the transmission. I'm not sure what I'm going to do with it when I put it back together.
Here's a few of my web sites:
