About:                     

 I'm a big ol' boy from Tucson, AZ.  I drive a Vette, and an R1.  I've been racing since I was 15, I've owned more cars than I can remember and the only thing faster than my driving is my mouth.  Hide yer cars and lock up your JB, I'm comin to town!!!



Mission Statement:

 We're here to win.  We're smart, we're decisicive, we're fast and we're ready for what lies ahead.  We will allow no one and nothing to stand in our way.  We will destroy any obstacle in our path.  Just be sure it's not you in that path.

"The best way not to fail is to be absolutely positive that when you do it, you're doing it right." - Burt Reynolds

Win....with class.



About My Team:

 

Caleb grew up on a farm in a small town in Illinois and has been around motors of all sorts since he began driving tractors and ATVs at about six years old.  The fever bit early and hard and he has been driving everything he could get his hands on from grain trucks to sports cars as soon as he could.  He has owned multiple vehicles including a supercharged grand prix and a S-10 blazer equipped with nitrous, and the current bullrun ready 2004 GTO.  He has competed in multiple types and classes of racing from autocross, to road racing, and the drag strip including bracket racing.  Most of his favorite past times revolve around some type of motorsport or car modification and Chris and Caleb get together often to work on cars, talk about cars, or go for a motorcycle ride or drive in the cars. 

Chris has been autocrossing cars including multiple Toyota MR2s, Corvettes, Firebird Formula, Shifter Carts, Mustangs and now Caleb's GTO, since the age of 15.  Chris has competed in some amateur road racing events as well.  His current job has him drive cross country multiple times a year including one day of 1200 miles with few stops.  He is awesome with a map in hand, and a genius behind the wheel of a car.  The only thing faster than Chris' driving is his mouth.  Chris has a lot of experience with sportbikes as well and he enjoys working on his personal cammed out corvette.

Together the two may talk a lot of shit to each other about their skills, but in the end together they could get anything accomplished that driving cross country could throw at them and they are both drivers willing to push the built up 2004 GTO to its limits.

Glad you enjoyed the ribs, I love that place. I agree, the sauce could be a little thicker for my tastes. You must be talkin bout the Laquinta across the street, that is where I always stay. If your looking for a good strip bar in that area, go down an exit to college ave to the shell station, across the street is a real decent place, don't remember the name though. Hot chicks in this place.

Yeah, I used to be right around the corner from Rice off of Buffalo Speedway. That is a road not a race track. Actually, 1 of my business partners was a professor at Rice, PJ Kane. I moved 20 minutes south of that area, I'm in Clear Lake now.

T.J.s is on Acadian Thruway off of I-10. Bayou City Seafood on Richmond in Houston has the best crawfish and seafood pasta. The crab bisque is also incredible. The seafood pasta is the best I ever had.

I don't know my 1/4 mile times as I've never taken it to the track. They want a roll cage in a convertible that's faster than a 13.49, and the car would do that stock. If I had to guess, I'd say high 11's with DR's.

hey whats your et in 1/4 mile?
By mike ansley, 05/01/09 - 0:11

My Biggest Strength:

 Intelligence.  It's not the fastest car, it's the smartest team combined with the best effort that gets you through.  The fact that we have a fast car that gets awesome mileage, is dead nuts reliable and is still comfortable is a huge step up, but it's what's between our ears and what's in our hearts that makes us THE undeniable force.
