    I had this article done on Drag Racing Today magazine September 1989.

    I still hold the record for being the youngest licensed Pro Stock driver with NHRA and IHRA. I had just turned 16 years old in 1987. My best ET was a 7:39 at 189 MPH.

    Pics. show famed powerboat racer Rocky Aoki from Benihana and my Family and I.

    Thought you guys would like to see the article.
