Re: Short Intro's

Hi everyone! I'm Bryan from Long Island, NY. I enjoy just about anything that has four wheels.

I have been playing with cars since the age of 16 starting with bracket racing. Now at the age of 37, I'm hooked on autocrossing.

Well versed in GM 2nd and 3rd gen F-bodies, 73-77 A-bodies, VW's (watercooled), Nissan products (SR's), and Subaru's (something about the sound of a flat four...) to name but a few...

Like I said, if it has four wheels, there is a good chance I might like it.

I'm hoping this site will be a little more open minded and talks about all cars and not just the typical "hot rod".

Re: Short Intro's

Short Intro eh?

Lets see. My name is Gray Arrington. I worked at the School of Automotive Machinist's for the past 3 years. I enjoy any internal combustion engine, as long as it makes power. If it does not meet up to par, we can certainly get it there. ;)

I worked on the race team for the past few seasons, traveling the country and drag racing. I have done the Long Haul on the Power Tour on top of many other things. I personally have an LS1 swapped 69 Fastback Mustang that is now on the back burner as I finish my Mechanical Engineering degree. The things we do for more money and a better job. (Looking into Nextel Cup stuff as my next stop in the performance machine. If not there, Pro Stock would be just as fun. )


Cliff Notes: My name is Gray. I am addicted to Horsepower.

Re: Short Intro's

bnjny, this is certainly the place for broad interest. We've had no brand bashing so far. Welome.

BigBronco, let's see some pics of that LSXstang in the project car section!

Peter Calaguiro from Barrie Ontario, Canada.
I have been playing with cars most of my life. My first vehicle was a 49 IHC panel truck that my brother and I drove to high school .....a very long time ago. I sell Mack trucks to support my "car habit" I now drive an Accord coupe and I am building a 53 Studebaker with an LS1, T56, 8.8 all on airride.... that I plan to drive to Maxton for the October meet. Lots of work to do to make that deadline. I sold my 27 Ford track roadster with 55 Dodge Hemi last summer.........most fun to drive car that I have ever owned! It held ECTA records. My 15 minutes of fame came when Frieburger put my name and a picture of my car in Hot Rod a couple of years ago! Plates for my Studebaker read 02GO200!

Re: Short Intro's

You sold the track roadster! Bummer! I loved it. (Tell 'em the story of your first trip out...)

The Stude sounds good, thou (a little Turk spelling there). Can't wait to see it.

Thanks for joining.

Re: Short Intro's

Im Brandon, 25 years old, grew up in Detroit, now in colorado springs.

Ive got more vehicles than I can count... they range from a bunch of '62-'65 B-bodies, to traditional rods, 2nd gen gm F bodies, early dodge vans, rock buggys, gremlins, hornets, and more diesels than I can keep track of.


I like to do everything myself, learning alot from the mags, thats why I signed up here. From street cars to rock crawling, my buddys and I have been following dave for years.

Keep it up!

Re: Short Intro's

hi iam vic porazinski, i like messing with anything that has a motor on it. when it comes to cars and trucks i like to get as much out of it as poss but leave everything looking somewhat stock. my kick right now is gas powered rc cars. right now iam working on one with a .35 cu inch motor that turnes 9000rpm at idle and around 48000rmp maxed out. its rated at 3.5 hp on a car that is only 6lbs. it should do around 80 actual mhp and hopefully have a 60-foot time around 1.1-1.4 second.

You are very welcome
That story would be more amusing from a vantage point other than mine! It was a real learning experience! The buyer is planning on continuing to race it a Maxton, in fact, he took my record last October!

Re: Short Intro's

Well, for some reason I just today opened this thread. Been on here a couple of weeks. I'm a Boomer-(61) who has been a car nut since I could crawl around the floor and make car sounds pushing my toys. I've had too many cars to list (34 Ford 5 window coupe and 2 40 Ford sedans) plus 55-57 Chevys and many others. Currently race a 67 Buick GS 400 in NMCA Nostaglia Super Stock. Also have 61 and 63 Chevrolet pickups and a 83 Buick Regal race car project working. I've taught high school Auto Shop for 39 years. Here's the Buick.
