I thought this thread may be a great way for those that join to share a little information about themselves.  I guess it's only appropriate that I go first.

I've been racing for about 20 years now, and I currently have a 2007 4-link dragster that Lynn Lawson out of Ft. Worth built for me.  This is the best car I've ever owned.  Lynn and his son do some amazing work.  I've raced a little bit of everything, mostly bracket raced some pretty quick door cars and then moved into an Outlaw Pro Mod for a little while.  I stopped racing for a few years, and just "borrowed" rides here and there, and now I pretty much just do it for fun.

My home track is Little River.  My family and I actually live right at the end of the track, so that's convenient.  Outside of racing, I own a data recovery business.  Basically when a hard drive fails, my company recovers the data.  In the IT/Computer world, I guess you could say we are like the neurosurgeons of the industry, and there aren't many companies that can really do the type of work we do.  Here's one of the video's I put together last year for our customers showing an actual recovery on a hard drive.


Other than racing and work, I spend most of my time with my wife and kids.  I've recently been getting into gardening, which really made me feel old.  There's just something amazing to me about dropping a few seeds in the ground and the next thing you know you've got a watermelon there.

I'm also pretty enthusiastic about doing stuff outdoors as long as it's not 110 degrees.  We love to go hiking and traveling with the kids.

Hi my name is Lane and Im a raceaholic.  (APPLAUSE) I have been racing 10 years. I started racing my 90 1/2 ton from HS, then I got my 70 Olds Cutlass out of the field and ran it for a few more years until I bought the Nova that I am currently racing.  I race mainly at Little River and Prairie Hill.  I cut back this year because of my kids activity's but I will never be a recovering raceaholic. 


I sure have missed this site!  Glad its back up!

My name is "Coach" Tim Ray and I sometimes like to Bracket Race.

Nice to see you on here Tommy.


No problem Max.  It will take some time to get things rolling here again.  I plan on doing some advertising here in the next couple of weeks once I finish a few details.  I'm also thinking about doing something similar to what they did on the old board, where new members are eligible for a drawing for a Jeg's gift card.  I know that got me to post more.LOL 

Hello all,
My name is Wade Hansen. I'm not from Texas, but love drag racing and all racing sites. Very nice site here. I hope to make it to Texas to a race soon. I"m the owner of Bracket Racing Northwest. I have been racing for 19 years. I started out in the H.S. program and moved up to my current ride. A 1997 Soran Dragster 400sbc 7.85@170 (2700ft track elev.) Not to bad for altitude. I would like to invite you guys to join our forum as well, as all racers are welcome. I will add any of your tracks to the forum just ask. Thanks for your time and chat with you all soon.

High to all, I'm Meredith Jones  from Plano TX. since 1979. I grew up in Arkansas. Currently I am racing my 1965 Chevelle wagon(Honkytonk HERO) in the DFW area in the electronics class because I suck at footbrake racing. I've been actively racing since 1986 but have had the wagon since 1973 and was built into a race car at that time. My home tracks are Texas Raceway and North Star Dragway and have signed up this season in IHRA as well and have made a few trips to the new track at Crandall. Good luck to all, even you Max. 

Oh no *Facepalm*
