About Me
I'm an avid drag racer who competes in the Corvette Challenge at Englishtown NJ. I also compete in Vintage Thunder held yearly at Cecil County Dragway in MD. I also enjoy Autocross, but have not raced in a couple of years. My best points finish was 7th place in 2005. I do all my own maintenance and tuning.

General Vehicle Comments
I purchased the Corvette in 1994. It has a rare paint color, Dark Smoke Gray Metallic. The color was only used for 4 years in very low numbers. The car averages over 30 MPG on the highway.
Accessories & Modifications
The Vette had the stock drive train automatic and a 3:07 Dana 36 rear until a piston skirt shattered. I'm in the process of building a new 4 bolt block.



See my time slip information on Drag Times.
