My brother and I race NHRA . Its been our downfall for the last 20 years . I say that because its addicting as heck. And it’s a worse money pit than this audiophile thing. We race NHRA Superstock class. I drive, and my brother is crew chief, transportation cheif, cook and head bottle washer... LOL.. Car runs 9.60’s on a good day. Engine must maintain all the stock parameters . Bore, Stroke , Valve Size, Compression Ratio. Carb/Throttle body must all remain stock dimensions. Blowers, Turbo's, Nitrous, or any power adders are prohibited unless that item came on that particular engine from the factory in OEM trim . Taking a car that made 240 hp originally,( 1990 350 cu. in. TPI Camaro Iroc) and transforming it to make 640 hp with these requirements is a monumental task. But it keeps ya thinking.... and broke. We race in the eastern US, and our season has already started in Gainsville Fla. We missed that race because our engine is still in Charlotte being updated .. If this site would let you post video’s, I have some in-car ones that I think you would enjoy, but not possible to post here
What other Hobbies or Interests Do You Have?
Hello,
I was curious as to what other Hobbies or Interests do you have that also take up much of your time, energy and money or is Audio the only one for you?
Being a car enthusiast is definitely my first passion. Always reading about new cars and lusting after some classics.
For me, besides my interest in building a Audio System in the past few years, I am also a Car Enthusiast and Amateur Photographer (actually I hate using that term, more like a photo enthusiast because I consider myself a novice).
All 3 Hobbies have taken much of my time, energy and money. Sometimes I look back and think, wow, what have I done?
Could have saved all that money and time.
So I guess I should list my gear if I am talking about other hobbies:
Cars:
2016 Mustang GT 6 Speed (weekend car, a few modifications) and 2018 Subaru Forester XT (Daily Driver). Obviously both are performance oriented.
Camera Gear: Nikon D750 with Kit Lense, Nikon 50mm 1.8 Lense, Tamron 14-24MM 2.8G
Thnx
