Hi, my name is Mike and I'm addicted. I had my first taste of it in 2011 after my friend claimed it was the greatest thing on earth. It took me 12 hours to get that first taste but after that first hit, I was done for and I've been hooked ever since. Now my year is now filled with Bonneville salt and the dirt of El Mirage. I've known other addicts my whole life but never knew what they meant about the "high". Now I know and am always trying to recruit new junkies.
Grew up in SoCal ( Santa Monica ) and still live there ( Saugus ) with my wife and dogs. My daughter has given me a beautiful grandson who is already on the road to addiction. His favorite movie, I'm not joking is "On Any Sunday" . If it rolls, floats or fly's he's into it. Oh yeah, he's a helluva drummer too!
I've been a parts man for over 35 years dealing mostly with Italian, Swedish and German cars. Currently I'm a product develop manager for the company who has put up with me for the past 24 plus years.
I know a few guys who race ( Y-Block Guy, Dick Martin, Chris Rivas, Greg Waters ) as well as various others afflicted with the same disease I have ( Hey T-Man! ). Recently I've decided that my addiction needs to be satisfied in another way so I've decided to become more involved with the SCTA in particular Dan Warners group. I'm not sure if it's for me or if I'll fit in but I've decided to give it a whirl and see what I can contribute. Anyway, that's a snippet of me and what I'm about.
One more thing. My post was not meant to make light of addiction in any form. I aplopgize if I it came off as insensitive to you or others you may know who battle real addiction.
I look forward to seeing you all on the Salt and or the dirt.
Cheers
