Got into the hobby in 1971 with my first car given to my by my newborn sister, the #7 Wild One's Mustang.
 
Major events, VHORS Shoot-Out since it began to be annual in 2000.
 
Haven't won any major events.
 
I like the nostalgia of the hobby and how it's a great escape from everyday life.
 
Other hobbies include music, computers, photography, web pages, r/c cars, amateur radio, and my 1:1 car.

The only major event I've been to would be the
Thunder Road Tour (2001 - with Ron Fields, Jr. and Mika Malehorn) race at Slugger's.  I remember Ron and Mika coming up to me between heats and saying stuff like, "Keep up the good work; you're doing fine."  I finished overall in 11th, which was pretty good since it was halfway up the field.  I also got the Good Sportsmanship award out of it too.

Hobby Time:  I started this slotcar thing when I was a kid, probably 9 or 10 with a 1/32 Eldon figure 8 set.  Got into t-jets a year or two later probably around 1966.  Played with them pretty steady up until high school when I discovered real cars and girls.  I dug them out again around 1990, played with them a while and then sold them, 30+ t-jets, a couple hundred feet of lock and joiner track for...whaaaa!!!!!  $75.00.  I thoiught I was ripping the guy off at that!  A few years later I got into them again, then sold the stuff off again but this time for more money.  I finally got back into them again for good this time around 1996, about the time of my heart attack. I needed something to occupy my time. I currently race with a great group of guys who play with nothing but AFX magnatraction cars.  I'm taking delivery, very soon I hope of a Dunlap routed track, custom designed by Scott Dunlap and myself to fit a tight cramped basement space.  I'll submit pictures and article when iget it up and running.
 
Events:    I have participated in 4 "Frays"  and 1 Idaho State HO Championship but have not done particularly well in any.  I am trying at this time to put the Seattle Fray Team back together for a run at the 2005 Fray.
 
My Faroite thing about this hobby:  The people I've met.
 
Other Hobbies:  Far to many to mention but I WILL break 80 golfing this year.  (Shot 80 today just before I sat down to write this)

   4. When you got in the hobby? I got in the hobby 3 years ago. My first year, I raced at the Outhouse and was overwhelmed by how fast they were. I got my butt kicked and went to work on getting a car competitive. Danger Dan and Zipper have helped me become a better car builder and a better driver. I owe them a lot for where I am now.
   5. Any major events you entered.  HOPRA NATS 2003, Outhouse Invitational

   7. What you like to do most in the hobby. I like all the new people I am meeting and the competition is very enlighting. Everyone can drive a slow car now speed it up and see what you can do. Staring the QCQ in 2004 was the most fun, working with many people to make it happen was a dream I always knew could happen.
