Favorite PMRA Memory:            2004 was the first year I raced my Hayabusa and my goal was to get the bike into the 9's.  During my last qualifying round at the last PMRA event of the year I ran a 9.993, but I didn't realize it until I got back to the pits when Joe Mullins asked how I liked running in the 9's.  I had not looked at my time slip when I got to the shack because the pass I made just didn't feel all the quick.  I was stunned and so happy that it didn't bother me that I went out in 2nd round eliminations that day!

Goal for the 2006 Season:          1.  To be Street ET Champion
                                                 2.  200+ mph pass at the Texas Mile in October
