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.

Up top is a BDS stage 3 10/71 supercharger. A remote System One filter keeps the oil clean.  Al said it can run 6 lbs of boost on premium pump gas all day .
