Owner Bio:
Eric traces his roots back to street racing when he was a younger man, but went legit in 1988. Unfortunately a lack of local tracks has made things a bit hard on the resident of West Sayville, New York, in that respect, but he intends to truly see what he can get out of the stock motor before swapping on a set of AFR heads and Lingenfelter cam. Lucky for us the 35-year-old electrician had yet to do so, but like everyone else his setup was greatly strained by the unforgiving weather.
