Hello, to everyone at NitroMater.com. My name is Rick and those that know me know me best as "Cooter". A little about me without writing a book. I have been a race fan for years and not just drag racing. But in 1987 I was looking to get involved in racing was told to call some people that are racing and see if they had an entry level job. I called John Lingenfelter and talked to him on the phone for about 10 minutes. Because of that call I moved to Indiana a couple weeks later. I worked LPE (Lingenfelter Racing) as a machinist and parts person for 15 years. It was easy to move to Indiana since I grew up just miles south of Decatur.
My involvement now is limited to going to races as a spectator and taking lots of pictures. I consider myself a better than average photographer and enjoy going to the races every chance I get. I just returned from the NHRA Race in St. Louis and will go to Chicago next month. I try to make six NHRA races a year and more if the time and money allows it. Maybe I will run into some of you at the track, but if not it will still be fun to share with others that have the same interest, Drag Racing.
Thanks for reading, hope this introduction was not too long or dull.
