Kurt Urban, 46 years young. Born in Detroit and raised in the Detroit suburbs. Always worked with cars and engines as my living. Started my own engine shop that was bought out in 1999 by Wheel to Wheel powertrain in the suburbs of Detroit. Drag racing is my first love, although the land speed stuff is getting more of my attention lately. I hope to run at Bonneville next year for the first time, a longtime goal. I have two project cars that I work on here and there while driving a little for work or customers. I have a great wife and two boys 2 and 6 to keep me going at home.

Kurt

I live in Wilton, California (near Sacramento) on 5 acres. I own a shopping center maintenance company since 89 that does lighting, sweeping, steam cleaning, and all types of maintenance for commercial shopping centers. My passion is performance cars and my business allows me time to pursue that. I owned a speed shop previously and now enjoy building high performance engines/cars and efi tuning.


I have been married for almost 19 years and have two kids, an 18 year old daughter and a 16 year old son.

I'm Bill... or so they tell me. I am a national accounts rep for Vista products, a custom blind/shutter manufacturer. I've been into cars since I was a small boy running around Congressional Oldsmobile when we would go to visit my father at work. For a while I was an ASE Master Tech. then moved on to my own business selling tools. Sold off the tool business to buy a house and went to work at a lock & security wholesaler where I worked until taking my current job. I love anything that is mechanical; cars, motorcycles, boats, planes, guns, etc. I have a wonderful wife, Kristy, who indulges my mechanical addiction quite well and with great alacrity.

I forgot to mention, I was born in Maryland, raised in Wheaton, MD, and now live in Ijamsville, MD.

Shiny Side Up!
Bill

I'm Mike I live in Rochester Michigan and have lived in Michigan my whole life. I'm a corporate communications sales manager for AT&T. I've been maried for 7 years now and have a 4 year old son.

I've always had a passion for cars of any type. Growing up I spend many weekend in the infield at sprint car races with my Dad.

Ever since grade school I have loved first generation Camaros and muslce cars in general. I've always dreamed of owning a 67 Camaro that could be equiped with modern sports car performance. So, I am working on making that dream come true very very very slowly.

My name is Jeff and I live just outside of Milwaukee, WI. I have worked for a wholesale auto auction company as a manager for the past 17 years. My dad owned a speed shop / used car lot when I was growing up so I caught the bug early.

The Red Witch has been the inspiration for my project since I first saw it when it was owned by a local guy here in the Milwaukee area.
