About Me

MyGen Profile Generator
I live near Chicago IL, and I am a huge racing fan. I am particularly into NHRA Drag Racing. So far, I have been to every NHRA event at Route 66 Raceway since it was built, and for the few years before that, I attended the US Nationals in Indy.
I used to be into BattleBots, but after Comedy Central cancelled it, its lost a lot of momentum. Unfortunatly for me, I don't live in the areas where they have the competitions, so I haven't seen one in about 6 years. I hope it will eventually come back.
I also like Las Vegas. I have been there 8 times, and I am probably one of the most knowledgeable people when it come to Vegas (next to the people on the Travel Channel and History Channel).
I am also knowladgeable on computers, although I'm not as good as a friend of mine.
I've been watching the 2006 Olympics and I've had this one thought in my head for a while; I want to be an Olympic bobsledder, skeleton rider, or luge rider. I've never done it before, but it looks interesting and as soon as I get the chance, I'm going to go for that goal.

I enjoy slot car racing of any scale. I really like the 1/24 scale cars. Those tracks have been becoming scarce though. I do have my own 1/24 cars, and here are some pics of them at the 1/32 track I have set up at home.

That's my 1/24th scale round track. That current body is of an old Dale Jarrett paint scheme when he had Quality Care as a sponsor. I've made that car fly lol. If I get back into this, I'm probably going to get a new body style, maybe a dodge ;)

This is my 1/24 drag car. This is only for drag racing. I've never kept track of my record on this car. We've never kept track when we raced, and I've never entered a drag tournament.

These are the rest of the 1/32 cars I have. These we only race at home, there are no commercial tracks. Starting on the left is the go-kart, then the Corvette Fly car, a Le Mans Fly car, then my beloved Dodge Viper. To the right of the Viper, is a ..99 Jeff Burton Exide NASCAR, but that didn't make it in the picture.

I'd like to meet:

Other NHRA fans, and anyone friendly, or just people looking for someone to talk to. I'll talk to almost anyone, so feel free to IM me or send me a friend request.

I've met most of the racers I've ever wanted to meet. That's the product of going to national events every year since I was 5.

I'd also like to meet the American luge, bobsled and skeleton teams. It's been one of my dreams to be on one of them. I hope to be some day.
