I’ve been involved in drag racing since the early 1970s. In the years since I first became involved I’ve seen the sport turn into something different than it was in the earlier days, something that I've not really been all that happy about. The cost of racing, while it's always been high, has gone through the roof. Where the sport used to be about innovators such as Big Daddy Don Garlets thinking of a better way to get down the track, it has become a game of cookie cutter cars and so called Funny Cars that are nothing more than Top Fuel streamliners. As a result I’ve become a bit disillusioned with the direction that NHRA has taken the sport.

All of this has lead my interests in a different direction - what’s called “nostalgia” drag racing. Nostalgia racing is more of what the sport used to be about: heads up full-on no-breakout drag racing on a relatively affordable budget. This site is dedicated to documenting my new Jr. Fuel nostalgia dragster project.
