Entry: How I started in racing Wednesday, October 07, 2009
Many
ppl have asked how I ever got into racing in the first place! It’s simple
really just took someone to tell me I couldn’t do it! When I was in high school
about 11th grade I got my first car which was a 1989 Ford Festiva! I
loved that car but everyone made fun of it because it was small and not as nice
as their cars. Everyone else had their parents buy them a car or give them a
nice car. It pissed me off especially when I told me teacher I can keep up with
their car he said I couldn’t. They have bigger pockets then me and my best
chance was too moved on to something else. I didn’t like that answer at all! So
I hooked up that Ford Festiva and won 4th place in my first car show
getting me a trophies and putting me in the year book for the car guy of the
school. No one could touch the features I had in my Festiva but they were
faster.
In 12th
grade I wanted as faster car to beat them so I bought myself a 1991 Acura Integra!
This was my first stick shift car and must say it was pretty fast. This car got
me into street racing and did very well. I then changed it up on tuning with computers
and pulleys and this car was beating everyone in school. So once again I made
year book again for the car guy and this time I held it everyone knew if they
wanted to hook up a car they came to me! I was pleased and my teacher was happy
in my progress but it wasn’t enough. I wanted to see if I could beat myself!
In
college I got myself a 1997 Mitsubishi Eclipse for a new show car. I hook this
car up with everything I could think of and it blew everyone away by miles!
Ever show I entered I left with a trophies! The car got in 9 magazines and 3 calendars
with tons of ppl knowing it as pimping purple! Then I changed the outside to
orange and it was the giant pumpkin :p On I love that name too I actually raced
a Hurst on Halloween with the giant pumpkin and of course the pumpkin one with
the bottle of nitrous it had.Now I
needed a faster car!
After
college and graduating year I got a 2001 Honda s2000 which blew everyone mind
cause that’s considered an exotic in some areas! I got that car from a snobby
child that would refer to the car has his dirty underwear… be at mind this kid
drop this s2000 for a Porsche Boxer…
what a noob! Anyway I hooked that up and not only did it rip that Porsche a new
one it I started getting new rivals every day. I race and race and race until I
got even more parts to have it turbocharged by greddy! This kit was in it
prototype stage and I was number 7 out of the first 17 ppl to have the kit and install
it. The car got in 3 magazines, a music video and had a chance to be in the
fast and furious 4 movie. After all that I achieve my goal and started racing
in carts.
I know
race for aca performance and team greddy and it has been an amazing trip! I’m
far from done so u can best believe I have some new idea for some new projects.
My theme for my cars and life is to stay custom till I’m old grey and busted I don’t
want to follow anyone foot step around here. Each car I had no one had upgraded
as much as I did when I had it but when I got rid of the car it was becoming a
common car. Hm… what will my new projects be? I already have that work done! :P
I will tell u another time!
