• My first photo [looking for this image now] of my win in the Sept 1994 Ennis Bug-In, Trophy Class! Photo from HOTVWs Feb 1995 issue.

• See a photo [looking for this image now] of me getting a trophy
  for the "TROPHY CLASS", My win at the Noble Oklahoma Bug-In 1995, and My last in the trophy class.

• My First Race in the PRO division, at Phoenix Firebird International Raceway November 4th 1995. I made it to the Quarter Finals against Clyde Berg. Remember not to lift when a faster car is on it's way. I had cut a .550 light to his .770 light, I had the advantage already. And yet lost by .002 because I lifted! aarghh!

• This is a good shot of a launch off of the line, showing the wheels up. While running the TVWDRA points race in Temple Texas, at the Academy "Little River" race track.
  I ran into a few minor mechanical problems that prevented me from running in the elimination's.
