Chuck's love for speed and his attraction to
the sport of Drag Racing came with the passion for high performance
automobiles which began over 20 years ago.
His drag racing
career was launched behind the wheel of a "modified production" 427
cubic inch 1966 Chevelle, followed by a fuel injected fiberglass
Camaro Funny Car and then a Blown Alcohol Pro Comp
Dragster.
Currently, Chuck can be found behind the wheel of
both the Gravity Storm and the Volcano Jet Dragsters.
When
both cars are performing at the same event in North America, Kevin
Olson, Curt White or Andy Beauchemin take over the driving duties of Gravity Storm
while Chuck pilots Volcano. Also Chuck's wife Silvi has obtained her license and will continue to make passes in Gravity Storm. |
