Hey folks, new member here. Thought I was already a member from years ago but apparently not. 40yrs old and been driving Rangers for 25yrs.
My Ranger list is...
1986 XLT 2wd, supercab, 2.9l, auto.
17.9-1320ft best, stock.
Ol girl took a heck of a beating years ago before she had to be retired.
1989 Custom 2wd, supercab, 2.9l, 5-spd.
16.5-1320ft best, stock, spinning tires off the launch and a valve going clatter clatter.
Was in process of motor upgrade and conversion to more of a street strip motor swap when she had to be given to a friend because of a move.
2004 XLT 2wd, 4-dr supercab, 4.0l, auto.
16.13-1320ft best, stock, Max a/c on full, 2500m on the odo.
This one is my current one that is still stock with 206k on the odo. Fresh rebuilt suspension and DJM 2/3 drop. Have owned her since 0.2 on the odo. Has been a fun beast for years but havent had her back to the track since shortly after I got her. Have mods in line but have been put on hold at the moment because there may be another one coming into my stable.
As far as other vehicles,
1987 Pontiac Fiero GT, 2.8l, 5-spd.
Not going to see the 1320ft or 660ft.
Stock with a few cosmetic mods. Have more mods coming down the pipe for this one as well. She is a fun lil railing terror on the curves and out on the road course. Bought her for the unique factor because everybody has a mustang or camaro but not an American made, 2-seat, mid-engine sportscar. Love the heck out of her and enjoy the laughs and fire jokes that come with owning one. As mentioned though, she is also my corner carving, 4-wheel toy.
2003 Suzuki SV650S, Copper.
This one is my 2 wheel, lil corner carving track beeyoch. Soooooo much fun to take out and play with as she LOVES eating up 600s and esp 1000s in the corners.
2003 Suzuki SV1000S, Copper.
This girl is my all around, cruising, back country twisty, two-up rider. Just all around fun to roll around on now and then.
Used to be heavy into the motorsports/drag racing scene when I was killing time out in west Texas but kind of got out of it when I moved to the metro area. It also kind of got put on the back burner when my love for two wheels met the fun of track riding and corner carving. It also didnt help that I was living in an apartment that didnt give me enough room to have a drag vehicle plus the whole getting into a career and working long hours. Now I have a house and room to make some noise so I have been getting the itch to start getting back to the drag strip.
Basically (so I dont write a novel), Im just an ol country boy that likes to have fun, turn wrenches, go fast, and play to my hearts content. Kinda like, go til you see God...then brake, turn, and repeat!
Ill get some pics up to share when I get time. Looking forward to getting to know and meeting some of yall, sharing my knowledge, and learning from others to get on down the road while having fun at the same time.
Keep the rubber on the road and Ill see yall out there somewhere!
