 Buckle up friends and fans, it's bound to be a bumpy ride, as the
Frantic team has been preparing for the 08' season that kicks off at
BYRON Dragway on May 4th. It has been many years since either Dragster
Dave or I raced at Byron. I actually have an old picture of my dragster
on the line at Byron with Dragster Dave and his rear engine dragster in
the background. Although we never raced against each other it's cool
knowing we both have "roots" at Byron. My history there started with
rude awakening, we were camping just down river from the town of Byron,
when a HUGE roar startled us. I asked "What the heck is that noise!?",
it was very loud and thinking we're in the middle of no where I
couldn't imagine what it was. A friend said that it must be a car on
the dragstrip across the river, and asked if I wanted to go see it. So
we piled into his 71' Mustang and headed over there. Once we got into
the track I recall being awestruck by all the cars and motorcycles that
occupied the pits. We worked our way around the pits then headed toward
the grandstand. A large crowd had gathered, I pushed my way thru to see
what the big deal was and there she was, the REAL Chi-town Hustler. It
was an incredible sight, I remember standing there for what seemed like
days watching as Austin Coil paced around her making sure everything
was ready for their run. I didn't even care if they were going to race
some guy named the "Snake". It was a Chicago style matchrace and we
had planned on spending the day, man what a day I was hooked forever.
That was 34 years ago, and I'll never forget it. I had a chance to
tell Austin Coil this story while he was checking out the Frantic
Fueler. He just laughed, chewing on his tooth pick and asked how many
MILLIONS of dollars that day has cost me so far. I just smiled and
said, getting to race a FUEL DRAGSTER .... PRICELESS!
C'ya out there!
