Well my page has not been updated in a really long time so I thought I would add a few things. Since I started this page I have been through a couple of pretty big changes in my life such as getting married and buying a house. I have hooked up with TRZ Motorsports and have been driving a car that they sponsor and Eric Kenward owns. When I am at home in Alachua, FL I have been working with a few local grudge racers to help them keep their cars competitive. For the last few years I have been involved involved with Will Stevenson and his Outlaw Drag Radial Camaro and we hope to make some waves with that car in 2010 at the Outlaw Radial Tire Championship Series races.
I recently became involved with Bruce Roberts and the United Outlaw Racing Series helping out with tech. This series is an awesome one to come watch and/or race so come check us out in 2010! www.UnitedOutlawRacing.com
Here are some recent pics of what I have been up to:
ORTC Bradenton, FL 2009
The Eric Kenward/TRZ Motorsports Malibu with me at behind the wheel. This was my first big wheelie! No major damage and we raced it the rest of the weekend. I wonder what Eric was thinking watching this take place right in front of him? ;)
Runner up at the ORSCA Race in Montgomery, Alabama with Eric Kenward, Attilio of Double A Performance, my wife Stefanie and our dog Samson. Eric just locked up the ORSCA Championship in the Modified Street class! His best run is a 5.24 @ 132 with a 434 Small Block, a single Wilson plate nitrous kit, TRZ Motorsports Suspension and 275/60/15 Hoosier Drag Radials!

This is the roll cage structure that is up in the roof of my 78 Cutlass. It was only tacked to the main hoop so that it could be removed and completely welded more easily. Yeah I know the picture quality is really bad. I forgot my normal camera so this is a cell phone pic.
Here is a pic of what is going on under the floor in the new 25.3 chassis:
These are some old pics of my Cutlass. The chassis work that I started a few years ago is almost done and I can get back to putting the car together. TRZ and I have been working on developing some neat parts for the GM G-Body platform so keep an eye on www.TRZMotorsports.com for new stuff coming out!
Some Racing pics before I took it apart:
After I started taking it apart:
Here is my 1978 Oldsmobile Cutlass. It is my first car and one that I will end up keeping as long as I possibly can. It sees regular drag strip action and I won my first track championship with it in 2003 at Gainesville Raceway. Now dont even think for a second that I am running anything but REAL OLDS POWER!!
The engine is a 355 cubic inch Small Block Oldsmobile. Chassis Dyno numbers are 343rwhp and 335 rwtq! My best 60ft is a 1.584 and the best 1/4 mile ET has been an 11.59 @ 114.18.
Here is the video:

I took my 355" SBO engine out of my car when I started this major chassis update and loaned it to a friend with an 83 Cutlass. I designed a custom solid flat tappet cam for it with the help of Crane Cams and it picked the HP over 20! With the new cam the engine pushed my friends car (which is heavier by 150 pounds) to an 11.43 on the motor and a 10.74 with a little squirt of nitrous on it. Here are the videos of those runs (its the White Cutlass):
