Kyle Loftis - Omaha, Ne
I own 1320Video.com, it's my way of getting a front row seat at any event I go to, I love it! I have been doing this as a hobby but quickly realized the only way I could get to bigger and better events was to turn a profit to fund my addiction, so here I am!

I tagged along with "Parish" (Blue Turbo pickup) on Drag Week '05 along with Travisty on here and a lot of the participants begged me to make a DVD after seeing how much I had filmed (12 hours ) and I have now created DVD's of Drag Week 05/06/07 and Pump Gas Drags 06 ('07 coming soon). That's how I met David as well.

I've also recently gotten into filming some of the larger organized street racing events which has opened my eyes to a whole new world, it's pretty facinating.

There's not much around here to film anymore so I've been traveling a lot! I love the street car events, good quality street racing, and I have an addiction for turbo cars

[Freiburger]

I'm David Freiburger, who along with Chad Reynolds is the guy behind CarJunkieTV.com. For the past 16 years I've worked in publishing and have been editor of Hot Rod, Car Craft, 4-Wheel & Off-Road, Hot Rod Deluxe, and Rod & Custom. I've been editorial director of all those, plus Popular Hot Rodding, Chevy High Performance, 5.0 Mustang, Muscle Car Review, Engine Masters, and Sport Truck.

Before that I was a freelancer, and also worked in the auto aftermarket. I've never had a job that didn't involve cars. My dad introduced me to them when I was a kid and he was a tv commercial producer for Plymouth, Goodyear, and Pontiac.

I have owned more than 100 cars and still have 36. Thanks to Keith Turk, I'm a member of the Bonneville 200 MPH Club. I wrote the rules for the first Fastest Street Car Shootout and founded Pump Gas Drags and Drag Week. I'm way into street drags, retro rods, 4x4s, and anything with a motor that's cool. I'm a Junkie.

[CDMBill]

Bill Fowler - Corona del Mar, Cali, my actual job is running Cisco's philanthropic and capacity building education programs in the US and Canada. My life long obsession is cars mostly Fords though I've owned & raced AMC's, a Dodge truck, three different 7 series BMW's and even an 82 Corvette. This and about 17 Mustangs at last count.

I have a 1.5 car garage which limits my inventory at any one time, ask anyone whose been in it, but that just adds to the challenge and the fun. I like the building and fabricating almost as much as the racing and driving and I've learned that I need to have new ideas and projects always cookin' even if just on paper or bench racing.

Thanks to the events put on or made complete by our hosts and friends here I've met some amazing people at various power tours, drag weeks, pump gas drags, anti-tours etc. I think the whole purpose in working on these machines is to get out and beat on 'em, deal with the consequences and come back and do it again. The plan is keep doing this kind of stuff until they won't let me anymore.

I'm betting this deal takes off big and we'll have be having a great time. Bill

Oh, and thank God this site has a spell checker.

My name's Dustin, I'm young (1, and here to learn. I've been a Chevy boy since my car seat was in the back of my Dad's '86 Monte SS and was handed the keys to the truck a year and a half ago. It's been a family project since I was three and I've loved it since I remember.
