GF from Long Island…
always had an interest in cars…but when visiting her on the Island I got to cruise around in her Mustang GT convertible, that and her dad had a '65 A/C Shelby Cobra that he took me out in…
When I got back I started looking into my own Mustang and bought one that spring/summer!

Just like going fast. Mostly just in a straight line to be honest. Then i made it to the track and the epic battle to make a new personal best constantly has owned me ever since. I especially like trying to squeeze the most out of a setup ie: Making my times lower and lower without making major changes. Ugh and to be honest i am looking into daily drivers that will be good auto-x/track cars so i can get into that as well.

i’ve always been into cars, when i was 3 i was able to look at peoples keys and tell them what they drive. they’ve always fascinated me and now i want to pursue a career and open my own shop. if i could work on a car all day, i would.

my Grampa was a stunt motorcyclist and my Dad was always racing and modding his cars when he was younger and he would teach me how to do simple stuff when I got my first car and i’ve been into even more since I met alot of friends that were into it.

I’ve always had a fascination with mechanics in general.
When I was a kid, instead of playing with my toys, I’d take them apart to see how they worked and put them back together again.
Naturally I was sucked into cars as I got older but didn’t really become an obsession until I saw an old fbody stand up on 2 wheels launching at a drag strip… been hooked ever since 😃

My dad got me into it at age 8 with a mini bike, a go kart at 10, an '77 chevy pickup at 13, and a chevy berretta GT at 15…I took what i learned from him and ran with it, and now he asks ME about cars lol.

Started when I was young. Matchbox and hotwheels car. Then a lot of R/C cars. When I was 10ish I think, I started to watch shows like trucks and horsepower tv every weekend. I would help my dad work on our trucks, basic maint. Then when I started painting I really started to become addicted. We would all take turns point cars out as they came driving towards us. I like doing the work myself and knowing that the car is done right.

My father was a race car driver before I was born, so ever sense Birth I was at race tracks and drawn heavily to cars.
I guess I was born with it, and at 13 I bought a dirt street stock and went to war with the big boys.
I’ll never look back.

More like owning an F-16 and looking for Bi planes to beat up on. Everytime I smoke a cager I don’t even feel like I accomplished anything.
