I love drag racing and all forms of motorsport (NHRA, NASCAR, F1, Sports Cars, Sprint Cars, etc). I also love music, writing, good movies, MLB Baseball (Cubs and Royals), Football (Missouri Tigers and KC Chiefs) and NHL Hockey (St. Louis Blues).

In first outing with the car on the drag strip, I ran consistent 13.8s and 13.9s with no prior drag racing experience on an evening with high humidity. On my very first run, I turned a 13.941 sec quarter @100.06 MPH (which Density Altitude corrects to 13.559 sec @102.948). Even with traction control on, I still was able to turn 13.9s.
