How did you get involved with the car scene: Ever since I was a little kid my dad had me involved in cars. when I was 2 he had me in a go kart when I was 5 I was driving it on the track. When I was 7 I was driving a Jr.Dragster at Lakeland and when I was 8 I started to go to Gainesville Raceway. When I was 11 I learned to drive a 1991 Acura Integra on the street. That same day I learned to Full Throttle shift and brought it to work at Lakeland Motorsports Park. I came in Second Place at that event Bracket Racing.

Whats the story behind this build, is it your first: My first fast car yes. We bought this car running when I was 13 and had some trouble with a chassis shop that ended up putting us on hold for about 2-3 years. We got the car back and got everything finished up with the car within a year and took it out for some passes.

When I was 16 first pass with the car was a 7.0 in the 1/8 @ Lakeland and that was with no two-step and letting off the gas in between shifts.

How much power is it putting down: 500whp with nitrous and 22lbs of boost

Future Plans: Upgrade the suspension to an adjustable strange engineering, put 28-30×10.5×15 slicks, buy a new radiator (holding us back from using nitrous), and the most IMPORTANT is to buy a clutchless transmission like the gforce2000, jericho and liberty transmission’s. With just the transmission and a pass on nitrous that should bring us straight to the 8s.
