I have been actively involved with drag racing since 1998. I owned and ran the Charger in the "Outlaw" class from 1998 through 2002. The Charger was ran as blown alcohol at that time however we started adding a little % to the mix. A little nitro was all it took, and I was hooked. In 2002 I began to convert the car to run 70-80% however due to promotional changes in the Outlaw class the races in Vegas were cancelled. I sat on the car for a several years and was going to sell it. My wife Cindy encouraged me to hang on to the car until I was sure what I wanted to do. I made the decision approximately a year later to restore the car to the Top Fuel car it was in the 70s. With a few updates, a lot of hard work and a great team, my goal is to run and compete in match races. Special thanks to my wife for her support and encouragement.                 

 

                

            

Steve has been involved in Drag Racing since the early 70s. He was on the Widdison Top fuel team which ran the first 4 second pass at Rocky Mt  Raceway in Utah. He has been involved with Jack Harris and Nitro Thunder Nostalgia Top Fuel Racing for several years and played a major roll in setting up the car to set the National  record of 265mph   which still stands today. His unique tuning abilities  helped and enabled the Nitro Thunder team to capture two National Titles. I am fortunate to have him as my Crew Chief and a good friend. His knowledge and extensive experience in Drag racing has enabled me to learn so much more on the setup and running of a Nostalgia Top Fuel Car.
