  2. Chris,
    It is so awsome to see a true legand of the sport or dargracing still going strong and running the national events. I would die to have an opertunity to live the dream of helping on your crew for a weekend. I have all the heart, compassion and want to learn from one i consider the best at inovative top fuel racing just for 1 weekend! For life really! I am in Washington if you are still on the coast i can run off anytime, please take me! I will be the new hire follow to the T new guy.

  3. The world of yesterday Dragracers liveing on! What can you say about Karamesines? Anyone who grew up around dragracing in the 60s- to today knows that name. The handfull of legends that are still around( some crew cheifs now) are still racing but the greek stands out in my opinion! To see him on the tube still raceing his top fuel of today is awsome! Is it the obsession? the life? passion? Whatever it is its great! To see him run again at the track in person would be a dream come true.If you come thru spokane wa. please pick this 50 yr. old nitro obsessed want to be up! I will go!!!! Grind discs,be the man in the can or ?
