Default Old School Pics...Randomly Found...

I was just checking out old files on my computer and came across some old pics of past race cars and of the current race car.

Here is the Civic Si that started the racing crack addiction we have generated over the years -- This is about 2 Weeks before the first event -- John Ferguson, Darin Dichiara and Alex Ruhnau busted butt to get it together and ready to race in that short time frame



This is the first event with coupe -- NHRA Moroso back in the Spring of 2004 -- car was pretty much taken from a rolling chassis to a legal, ready to race car in about 2 weeks before the event



this is the 2nd engine setup in the car after we threw a rod in the first engine at the 2nd event we attended -- this is a 2.0L GSR Setup with 61mm Innovative Turbo that made about 630 horsepower with



The first event with the car, we lined up to none other than Brian Ballard -- he of course went on to kick our A$$ and after watching the show that Hunt and Ballard put on at that event we knew we had to step our game up.



NDRA Bristol 2004 -- The first time we put 26s on the car -- I still remember Ferguson coming back after that pass saying " Oh Yeah, those are staying on." This is back when it was commonly referred to as the Titan Civic -- those guys helped us a lot to get the racing itch scratched for sure.



This is the current VX Drag Car that was previously my street car -- it used to be so nice and clean -- the years of racing it have definitely taken their toll





This is between the 2004 and 2005 Season when we decided to retire the coupe and build the VX into the dedicated race car...still probably the best decision we made, I love the VX as a race car.

Good memories! I looks like they cut the rest of the cage out and just left the rollbar. Glad to see it's still around.
