Chris Essman: Road-tripping in the Race Car
Even though I retired long ago, I’m still on a distribution list for visitor message alerts on DSMtuners. If some illiterate stroke firebombs your profile over there and you slick the alert button, I get an email. Can’t do anything about it and tend to ignore them, but a morbid sense of curiosity had me clicking through on one the other day.
I’m glad I did. Today, GBXM shares the story of a gearhead building with conviction and purpose.
Cortney Green: 9 Second Honda Civic
If you know anything about racing in the Honda world, then you’ve also heard these two words: Cortney Green. Mr. Green has been building Honda’s since 1998. Not one, but two of his Civics have reached the 9 second club. He took a minute from wrenching and tuning cars to tell us a bit about himself.

This week, we’re featuring one of the fastest cars in Utah. Cody Phillips took some time to answer some questions about what it takes to make an 8 second drag car.

When Ben isn’t working on illustrations for hot rods, custom cars or designing graphics (shameless plug – www.streetroddesigns.com).

In this interview he tells us about its current state and where he’d like it to be one day.
Nicholas LeBlanc’s 1936 Chevy Truck
