Originally from upstate NY. Been in SC since 1977. An oval track racer in the past and do some vintage oval track racing now. Been messing with race cars and special interest car stuff for years. Have a 35+ year collection of interesting cars and parts. Have several '48 and older Ford hot rods and race cars. Do all my own work on them. Retired after a very interesting 27 year work career with a major tire company and became a full-time fleet mechanic on my own stuff! Do contract tire testing on as as needed basis.
