I’m an engineer in the Dallas, TX area. Â I’ve been an avid car-guy since I built my first car with my Dad at the age of 13. Â We bought a 1968 Mustang Fastback from a farmer in East Texas. Â The car had chickens roosting in the trunk! Â It had 14 inch wide tires on the back, the springs were shot, and the fenders bounced off the tires the whole 60 miles home. Â Over the next three years, we removed and replaced every single nut, bolt, and part on the car.
For my 40th birthday my Wife, Sister, and Parents bought me a 10 lap drive of a Winston Cup race car at Texas Motor Speedway. Â I was hooked! Â I’m currently building a Spec Miata to race in regional SCCA and NASA races. Â This site is a chronicle of this activity. Â Hope you enjoy, and maybe learn from it, as I’m sure I will.
