I have quite a few other hobbies. Number one is nose picking #2 seat picking #3 Odiferous gaseous emanation production, couch relaxation specialist but my wife calls it Lazy good for nothing waste of space specialist.
First is my model trains in Standard gauge and O gauge. Next is restoring and using my 1950 40' Matthews custom sedan yacht, 1959 21' Chris Craft Cobra speedboat, 1947 18' Lyman Islander. Then come the cars, a Factory ordered 1969 Impala 427ci 390hp 4 speed .It now has a 572ci big block fuel injected with a progressive two stage Nitrous system and a titanium Lenco four speed with a blow proof bell housing and a slipper clutch. It’s a real sleeper on the street and really not eco friendly at 6 MPG at 55 MPH. The only thing that stands out or gives it away is the four-inch stainless exhaust pipes , mufflers and the Vanity tag that says I WON. Yes I have all the number matching original parts. I also have a 1969 SS Chevelle 396 4 speed car that is a full on racecar. It now has a 496-inch Big Block with a nitrous set up also. At three thousand three hundred pounds it will still run an 8.20 168mph 1/4 mile pass. Hell if it had a good driver in it, it probably would go a lot faster. I enjoy the shooting sports, collecting Pennsylvania Rail road artifacts, collecting and building generators and Last but not least what takes the biggest amount of my time is, I work/ed as the crew chief on a professional NHRA drag race team. The SUBARU/ESX factory Drag race team for the last 5 years. We have 18 national wins in the last two years and 2 national titals.20 NHRA WALLEYS, and hold the NHRA MPH and ET records in our class, 6 NOPI wins, 3 IDRC wins, 12 number one qualifier times and all of this out of a little four cylinder SUBARU WRX STi. (3260lbs car with a 156ci 4cyl engine ran 9.01seconds at 165mph 1/4 mile passes on street tires and factory 90decible exhaust system). I almost forgot my wife and I collect rare Turkeys. We have 2 Blue Slate and 2 Royal palm turkeys. Whooo that was close I almost forgot to mention them; boy I never would have heard the end of it.
Well I have spouted off enough so I i will let someone else have the stage.
