Hi, this is Phil from upstate New York. I have been interested in going fast since I was a young kid. My dad drag raced a VW (Inch Pincher III) back in the day. I raced go karts, then got into motorcycles. Started road racing, then drag racing. Hated paying people to weld stuff for me, so I bought a little mig. Built tons of stuff with that. Then got a nice Miller tig, and kept on building bike stuff. Made gas tanks and seats out of fiberglass. I've been reading about real metal shaping since the 80's, time time to really jump, making a bunch of tools to form a tank and tail for drag bike to go along with the liquid cooled plenum. Can't wait to see what everyone has to offer.
