      I’ve been plumbing all my life but my hobbies have always been extreme. Sky Diving, Scuba Spelunking, Cliff Diving, Extreme Water Skiing, Motor Cross, and Base Jumping are included in the types of things I’ve done in my life. I’ve traveled all over the country on my Harley Davidson Heritage Soft tail and my Ultra Classic FLH. My First Harley was a Basket case 1976 Sportster. I restored it and customized it with gold and chrome. The way I got started  in drag racing Nito Harleys was some what of an accident. My Wife and I wanted to build a custom chopper in early 2003 and while searching for a theme for the chopper I found The Weekend Frame Company on the internet   http://www.weekendframe.com/ . The owner  John Storace  quoted me a price for a custom frame that would be just like his Nito Harley frames except with street legal changes. I visted his business in Minneola TX to discuss the build and after having seen these drag bikes up close I changed my mind completely and contracted him to build a Pro Dragster Rolling Chassis instead. Not having a ton of money to work with the project had to move slow enough to match my income. After having completed the rolling Chassis I took it to Hawaya Racing   http://www.hawayaracing.com/index.htm  For the engine and Drive train. The owner Johnny Vickers Completed the bike in October 2006 and after testing was complete in late November 2006 he started teaching me how to pilot and maintain the bike. To make a long story short we are now racing and winning.
