  Scott Robinson is from southern California and has been into cars his whole life, his earliest memories recount his time spent with his father and his friends. Scott's father raced all types of vehicles, drag boats, sand rails, and cars. These experiences made a major impression on Scott and he couldn't wait to be old enough to drive. When he was old enough, he got heavy into off-road motorcycles then when he got his driver's license all bets were off.  Scott forgot about racing motorcycles and went all in and started racing cars. The first car he raced wasn't car at all, it was a 1975 Chevy van. But this wasn't  any old worn out work van. This van belonged to Scott's father, it featured  a destroked 400 cube small-block built by Scott's Dad, it's backed up with a TH-400 automatic transmission and a narrowed 12-bolt rear end.

Chryslers At Carlisle 2023

  The 2023 Chrysler Nationals held at the Carlisle fairgrounds was a great success, with over 3,000 registered  show vehicles.  Add another 500 to 1,000 cars & trucks that spectators parked on the property, made this biggest gathering of Mopar only iron in one spot on record. There was plenty of cars to see at this event even though there were spotty showers on Friday, Saturday & Sunday, but the late afternoons afforded us some great opportunities to photograph some great cars and talk with some of the owners.  The show fields were organized into body platforms, A, B, C, F & M. There were also classes for the Plymouth Prowler, Viper, PT Cruiser  and the new TRX Ram. On the property adjacent to the highway there was a makeshift road course set-up where lucky individuals like myself were able to ride along in a 700 Horsepower Hellcat Charger & Challenger.  It was the best 70 seconds of my life ! The FCA brought out half a dozen cars and the new Demon 170 was on display!
