BAD ASS TOYZ AIN'T JUST FOR BOYZ!!!!!

About Me

I have been involved with racing and cars in one aspect or another all my life. From the young years, working with my Dad on his NASCAR Featherlite Modified, touring the Northeast Circut, to the present with my own NHRA Super Comp Dragster.
I got my NHRA Super Comp license in May of 1998, while filming for the Motorsports TV show "Reaction Times". From that moment I knew I was HOOKED!! I have come a long way since then, I am now working on moving up in class to an A/Fuel Dragster, which reaches speeds over 250 mph in about 5.5 seconds in a 1/4 mile. My goal is to one day compete in the "Top Fuel" Arena and to win a NHRA Championship Title.
I have also crossed trained my racing skils by participating in the Skip Barber Open Wheel Road Racing School, NASCAR Cup Car Schools, the Cale Yarborough Executive Racing School in Late Models and also in the FASCAR Truck Series.
I also Produced and Hosted the motorsports show "Racers Edge" which aired on FOX Sports Net. It also aired via sattellite throughout the country. The show was seen in over 32 million homes across the country. I resigned so that I could focus all my attention on my racing efforts.
I currently race in NHRA Division 2 and at other various racing events in the Southeast and travel to bigger venues. I am currently working on marketing and promoting my racing career so that I can move up to the next level. Just Going for the Dream!
As my career in Motorsports grows with every new day, I hope with my talent and knowledge, to make an impact on Motorsports!!

..A TRIBUTE TO A GREAT GUY, AN AWESOME COMPETITOR, A GOOD FREIND, & A TRUE CHAMPION, ERIC MEDLEN!!!!
