Me
I'm Casey. I can drive. That's about all I can do. Hahahahahahaha. I'm a recently unemployed bum, and I keep myself busy fixing cars and winning money at the races. I have a 1977 Comet that will house a fresh 466" Big Block Ford, with 11:1 Speed Pro pistons (9.5:1 CR with the heads I'm running) bored .030", 292H Comp cam, exhaust ported polished heads, a Victor intake (eventually) Holley 750 double, custom headers (no kidding), a C-6, freshly rebuilt with a manual valvebody and a 3500 stall TCS converter, and 4.10's. Now, if I could just find a job...Update!! I have found a job!! I can't wait to fire up my car!! I hope to find DOVE heads this winter, work 'em over a bit, and get a true 10.94:1 CR. Then she should be good for low, low 12 second passes. Hopefully, Jim (our head tech dude) will be chasing me down telling me I better put a rollbar in if I want to keep running there!! That would make me happy, seriously!
UPDATE: I thrashed for a couple weeks in the summer of 2003 to get the car together for a race near the end of the season. Well, I had to use my junky stock style intake, my used "stall converter" that didn't stall worth a shit, a pair of borrowed slicks and a Holley 750 double pumper that was older than I was and had a terrible stumble to it. But I made it, and got a 12.9 @ 106.5 mph out of it, with a 1.84 60 Ft. Just wait til I get a converter, and a new air gap intake. Hell, I can't wait.
Well, broke the 4.10's and put in 4.62's and ran a 12.813 @ 106.9 mph before blowing the diff out. Put in 3.00:1 highway gears and ran a 13.01 @106.5 mph. That was on a D.O.T. street tire. It was a good 2005.

Mark and Michele
A person couldn't ask for two better people to be associated with. Strictly class acts, and two great friends to me. Mark spends his days behind the wheel of a Kenworth for C&K Trucking, Carrying water to the ends of the, um...block mostly, and Michele is employed at the Hospital where she seems to have more holidays than all of us put together...hahahahaha just kidding. Mark will be running a '68 sport Satellite with a 324" smallblock with a .509" purpleshaft, forged pistons, a 4 speed and 4.10's out back. Michele drives a '74 Chebby Nova with a 350, a victor intake, headers and 2.71 gears that clocks low 15 second passes. A 3.73 geared unit will be making it's way into the Nova soon. Mark did a lot of work on the old Nova over the last couple of years. He redid the body work with a little help from yours truly and we put in a 454. She's now purple and close to being ready for the track. In fact, it now runs low 14's with just a motor swap. Hahaha, and it went 13.8 when another racer borrowed it!
The 3 Mike-skiteers
Mike R, practically my brother 'cuz we've known each other for f--king ever, has...er, uhh...had a snake ass ' 67 Barracuda with a 440 that scorched the 1/8 mile in 7.80 sec. @ 90 mph until he blew it up at the first race of this year on our new 1/4 mile. Now he still has the Cuda, and an '80 firebird that he put a 351W ( yes a FORD motor ) into with a snotty cam and truck headers. What a guy! His wife Trish raced for the first time this past year. She drove the firebird with the Ford motor. She did allright for a rookie racer, and I know she can't wait for next year!There's also Mike J, who has a '66 Chebby truck with a tired ass 350 that I hope blows up so he has to actually build a new motor and not just change the oil before an event. It usually goes low to mid 15's. Nice truck though. And now that the tranny is really hooped in it, he's gotta change it out. He'll add a stall converter too. With a fresh tranny and a new stall, he went 14.7 on the same weak motor in 2003. Well, we assembled a fresh bullet for the truck this past spring, and it has gone 14.1 @ 94mph. That's on plain old street radials. It'll go 13's on slicks. Then there's Mike C, a weird guy, but lots of fun to hang with. He pilots a '72 Gutless Supreme with a torky 455 with 268H cam, performer intake, hooker headers and 2.73 gears that has gone 13.86 in the 1/4. It even went 14.01 on a 14.00 dial hard on the brakes last weekend Aug 5/2001 when I won my Wally. A true Torque monster. He has since left us for Stony Plain for good, car and all. He still loves his car, and has redone the suspension, converted it to disc front brakes, even stuck a custom Ford 9 inch rear with 3.89 gears in! Way to go Fluffernuts!
And of course, Rod H. He has the sweetest car of the team. A red 1974 Challenger with a Mopar performance 360 short block, Ported 340 X heads, .509" cam, M1 intake, holley 750 DP etc. It turns 13.0's in the 1/4 and turns lots of heads on the street.
Shut up, Ricky!!
