Driver Bio: | I am an automotive machinist specializing in performance engine design and cylinder head porting. My dad is a machinist and a drag racer who taught me everything I know, and I've been racing and building engines since I was 14. I've built many blown alcohol engines over the years and ran several cars, the most notable being The Executioner AA/FA altered. When the Dirty Bird was first conceived by Scott Roberts and Jim LeHart, I was honored by being brought in to help out with the car, as well as assemble the engine. Scott and Jim did a great job with the car and were very successful right away. After driving it for Scott for a few years, I bought the car and began making improvements, but when my son came along I gave up racing and sold the car to Steve Dale, who saw its potential. Steve did an amazing job transforming the car into the Goateus Maxiumus, which reclaimed the world record on it's first full pass. Steve is currently (Nov. 2013) running the original engine, and it is holding up well after around 60 passes. I've made the Goat a new manifold and I'm designing a new set of billet heads. I glad to still be involved with such an amazing car and I can't wait to see it go to the next level. |
