Mike Shaw and his dad Dean raced top alcohol funny cars in the 1980's. Mike got his NHRA license when he was 19 and traveled all over the western US racing in various leauges including the West Coast Funny Car Association. He got his start from his dad who ran top gas cars in the 70's. Mike ran two cars during his racing days, both of which were named Rampage. The first car in the early 80's had a Corvette body and the second car in the late 80's was a Dodge Daytona. Mike's best time in the 1/4 mile was 6.30 seconds with a top speed 220mph.

Hope ya'll enjoyed playing and thanks again to Mike & MS Slammer for the prize :)
