Retired U-Haul Box truck (1989..well, not really a classic, but it has trailered several and has been modified to carry one inside.)
Ford F250 Quad-Cab Diesel Pickup (2003). Hey, this is Texas and you just have to have a truck.

What do you like to do (e.g. vintage race with...)?

Believe it or not, I like working. I finally found something I enjoy doing...and I get paid for it. "Work" now includes car shows, car clubs, fiddling with my own cars (when I can) and talking to car people.

What clubs do you belong to?

Morning Maniacs, Classic Chassis Car Club of Dallas, Red River Triumphs, TVR Car Club of North America.

What would you like to do (e.g. go to race school; get into Vintage Racing)?

Yes. I plan to once the business is firmly established and it can support a racing program. I did a lot of motorycycle roadracing with AFM and ARRA when I was younger and would really love to experience the feeling of speed and competition again - but with four wheels this time.
