Ran RED for years.  Quit for awhile and when I decided to get back into racing I thought back about when I had the most fun and it was when I first started racing back in the 70's racing a fed.

I was born and grew up in New Orleans, and just before 1980 while I was still in high school, went to Laplace Dragway and saw a FED in person, and was intrigued and impressed. That was at the LAST DRAG RACE at that track. Some few years later I had a '66 Chevelle that I ran at  State Capital and Gulfport, later I moved to Houston for work, and ran at Eastex Dragstrip, until it closed, and then at what is now Royal Purple Raceway in Baytown.  A buddy turned me on to a FED that was offered for sale, and I traded my Chevelle and trailer for the FED, and its trailer.

All my life i dreamed of driving a blown alcohol FED.  Never got the chance to shoe one, so i built one.  Can't imagine owning anything else. 

I've been 8's with doors, 7s in a roadster, but my FED is where my heart is.
