I started my
interest in Muscle cars at the young age
of 15. My first real car was a 69’ Camaro at the age of
17. It never stopped from there. By the age of 22
I had owned over 200 cars. Mostly playing around with
the Small and Big Block Chevy’s. I was fortunate to have
played with the Big block Nova’s, Camaro’s and
Chevelle’s. In 86’ I purchased my first Buick Grand
National, only after being beat by one during a late night
street race. I couldn’t bring myself to modify this
beauty. When I heard about the LAST year and slightly
more hp in the 87’, I sold the 86’ and bought one. I no
longer had this one home and started changing parts.
Keeping in mind that back then a 13 second street car was the
GOAL and a 12 second street car was fairly rare. I would
drive to the local track, run 13.00 quarter mile passes and
drive home with the A/C on getting 24 miles per gallon.
That’s still impressive to me! Hats off to GM. The
next 10 years or so was Family and Career. Never got out
of the Car Scene, just laid dormant for a while. Once
the Career was on track, I wanted back to the track. I
started out with a 427 Big Block tubbed out Nova for a couple
of years. We ran a best of 10.86 with the Nova. Then I
wanted to be a little different. We purchased a Full
size new body style Silverado pick-up and set it up to run
high nines. We were able to accomplish this by stroking
a 454 out to a 496. This was fun for a couple of years
and then we purchased a Chrome moly Ex-ProStock Firebird with
the same stoker combination. This was a little piece of
Heaven!!. I ended up selling it off to a Super gas racer
and started building an 8 second, big tire 69’ Z-28 RS
Camaro. We built a 565 to run in this chassis car and
before the two ever came together, The rolling chassis was
sold in one direction and the drive train in another.
That car ended up with a 632 alcohol Injected Blown Big
block!! WHAT A STREET CAR!! Anyway, I ended up
back on the track with a 99’ Monte Carlo chassis car and a
Reher Morrison Big Block. We ran high 8’s with it for a
couple of years before it sold. I then purchased a Super
Comp Dragster by S&W Race Cars. This car was built
originally for Bill Mitchell and currently has a 532”
BBC in it. I currently am Crew Chiefing for a race
team. I drive this car on occasion as well as one of our
other drivers.
The name of our
team is Mann Performance. We currently have (2) Crew
Chiefs, and (5) race cars on our team. We run our local
Jegs series @ our track as well as Divisionals and some
National events.
 
I have been
following the excitement of the GM 3800 builds over the last 4
years and I can’t tell you how impressed I am with the
improvements the 3800 community has came up with and where
they have taken this. As I’m writing this, they are next
to running in the 8’s in the quarter. I feel very
fortunate to have recently acquired exclusive rights with
C.O.M.E. Racing and I’m looking forward to bringing new
products to the 3800 Community here in the US as well as
Canada.
