Motorsports and Drag Race themed Graphics and Web Design * Todd Grossman / six4designs

There's a reason I stick to designing websites and graphics for racers and high performance businesses - I'm a racer myself. Having owned a couple of Camaros, a Chevelle, a Nova, and three Mustangs, I have a deep-rooted passion, make that obsession, that goes back to my teenage years.

Now that I'm in my mid-thirties, I still have the drive to go fast, only now I have a bit more knowledge and a little bit more money.

My present ride is a weekend cruiser. It's being built as a fun toy to drive to the track and tool around on the street. This page highlights the stats of my car and showcases some pictures I've taken over the past couple of years as I've built it up.

I have yet to make any passes with it, but I'm expecting mid 10-second ETs on motor and on 93-octane pump gas.

And while I'm here, I have to thank my awesome wife, Leslie, who not only puts up with my constant talking about this project, but tolerates me swearing at the top of my lungs from out in the garage, spending my extra dough on parts, and yes, she even buys me lots of cool stuff for it.
