  • AJ Thomas' brush with greatness.....

    AJ was invited to the Sonoma Nationals to display his car for the Junior Drag Racing League..and make a pass right before the pro final on Sunday...it was on ESPN3 also.....

    AJ and his buddies wandering the pits before the general public was let in....the man child and his 2 other buddies that are his age.....LOL


    AJ with his woman Megan Doubleday...she also races...lives in Temecula and plays LaCrosse....the other end is Junior Comp driver Katie Downs and Junior Comp driver Chandler Meziere(Yes...THE Meziere ...LOL)


    AJ's ride.... 7.9 seconds to cover 660' @ 85 MPH.... thats what NHRA limits us to...but we've been 7.52 @ 94 mph... thats 0 to 60 in less than 4 seconds....single piston motor...


    AJ...Me...and pro driver Matt Hagan

        Sweeeet! I agree. I hate washing parts, but even I wouldn't pass that up (and would probably enjoy it then!).

                    that is awesome, get into that young.. especially if it sticks for life.

                    My dad was like that about trucking, seems simple..until you are the corporation.
                    he jokes that I have 35 years in already...at 40.

                    Jumpy about career paths and sudden changes, they lessen if to start young.

                    that looks like a lot of fun with the racing.
