DRIVER BIO:

On of my first jobs was working at the drag strip east of Arkansas City KS. The owner of the strip had an old FED powered by an in-line GMC 6 cylinder. This was the first car that I drove down a drag strip at the age of 14! I raced door cars for a few more years and sold my last one in 1978 to pay my titution to return to college. I finished my training to become a Paramedic in late 1979 and started with Sedgwick County EMS in January of 1980. I retired in 2010 and bought my current car in August of that year.
