1975 Chevy Monza that I've owned since 1984
Does your car have a nickname?
Taz
What's under the hood?

Why do you use BTE?
Don't yet, but interested in a torque convertor or have you re-build the two I have.
Someone you look up to in racing?
Wally Parks for initiating organized drag racing.
If money were no object, what would you drive?

What is your pre-race ritual (if you have one)?
Before every pass I say a prayer to keep everyone safe, don't break anything and to cut a good light.
