sah5150 Posted May 14 Posted May 14 Hi folks - new member here. I've already made a few other posts, but thought I'd introduce here myself anyway. I've been a lurker here for awhile, but decided to get back into the hobby and start building. I guess the last build I did was back when I was 12 (65 now). I grew up on Long Island and my parents used to take us to the drag races at National Speedway (including the Spring Nationals when they used to hold them there) when I was a kid. From then on, I was obsessed with drag cars. I started building Pro Stocks, Top Fuel and Funny cars straight from the kits when I was 9 years old. Eventually I started trying to detail the engines a bit more, but never got that far with it beyond spark plug wires. I sort of drifted out of building when i took up the guitar and got really into playing in bands. Anyway, I've been reading and learning from the many talented people here and have put together a little area in the garage to start building again. I bought some tools and some parts and I'm going to try to build a Pro Mod with a scratch brass chassis. We'll see how it goes, but I'm excited to get back into the hobby. Looking forward to feedback and learning from everyone here! Steve
