About:
I've been driving muscle cars since I was 16. Raced the 1/4 mile on weekend nights in high school and rarely lost. I can take care of the car myself, and did most of the restoration work on it. I have an awesome family, a great job and I must be crazy because I really want to do Bullrun, even after seeing two seasons of it. This is not a stock Chevelle. It looks stock, but the suspension has been completely upgraded, swapped the tranny to a 700R4 4speed overdrive and put new Boss 338's with Bridgestone Potenza RE760 Sport 245 50 18's all around and this thing drives like it's on rails. Actual upgrades completed in November 2008 include: SPC Adjustable Tubular Control Arms, Severe Duty Upper Ball Joints, Matched set of SPC performance rate springs, Baer Track Systems 13" drilled, slotted and zinc washed roters with 2 piston PBR Calipers, Currectrac Rear Control Arms, QS1 16 way adjustable Varishocks by Alston, Hellwig 4140 ChromeMoly Anti Swaybars - 1 1/4" front, 1" back. When I tell people i'm trying to get on Bullrun, they tell me i'm crazy and that i'll scratch, dent or otherwise mess up my car. My standard response is as good now as the first time I said it, "It's just a freakin car. I fixed it before, I can fix it again". But I won't need to because my brother will drive the challenges and if he messes up, he's paying to get it fixed. Out of our winnings, of course...
Mission Statement:
Intensely competitive brothers with a sweet ride and the real life experience to run an entertaining and winning series of plays, to make it to the final 3.
About My Team:
We can both drive, we can both navigate, and we both have opinions on how things should be done. I have more time behind the wheel of musclecars and Scott has the brains to figure out the fastest and funnest way to get to our destination. My brother is the smartest guy I know, but sometimes he leaves his brain at home. Like the time he got assaulted (ok, stabbed by a gang banger would be more accurate) while in his car... But I digress. If you add in our competitive drive, spirited bantering and off the wall humor, this is the team that will be fun to watch from the beginning, and root for all the way to the end. We will wreak havoc on the roads, instigate riots among players and if we don't kill each other on the trip, we will make some of those other drivers look silly as we ally with, feud against and ultimately manipulate them to gain an advantage.

My Biggest Strength:
We don't get lost, period. The men in our family are known for their uncanny sense of direction. Combine that with our ability to make creative interpretations of the rules and we can't lose. Our strength allows us to get to our destination without even using a map. Side note - the women in our family call our special skill a confounded sense of direction, because we have taken the long way sometimes. The really long way....
