I met the "SANDMAN" today...

He runs a 6 second camaro with a 500+ cube engine that squirts out 1400 horses on nitromethanol!

His tow rig is a freightliner truck with a full-blown apartment in it, and a gooseneck hitch out back...

If you have seen the race car trailers in the movie "DRIVEN" - THAT is what he pulls with it.

I asked him where his blower was set, and he told me 42 pounds (the math from there is interesting). He was in a video of the street nats in 2005, wherein his car completely left the ground...

-I think he said it happened in Orlando.

must be good money in sand ? No ya work a dumptruck sometimes like a rollback wrecker all hours of the day & night & sandman has defintly done more of his fair share i have seen him work all day & well into the night hauling dirt ,sand & gravel himself & go racing the next day or night afterwards .

Sandman worked his but off to get where he's @ he is a awsome fella in my book





all his truck expect the lil tandem freightliner has the pics of his car on them i remember when he 1st started out he started his business w/ a pickup then went to a singleaxle truck w/a tag axle under it . then came the lil tandem freightliner dump .

he used to buy dirt from my granddad & a friend of mine done quit a bit of tire work on his dumptrucks for him


his car is one bad beast he takes a lotta pride in his car & ya GW That is a nice Hauler he has too lotta room man

I worked like a fool to build up my suburban, volunteering for late night knowing of my early morning wake up, 2 in a row of getting up at 6am going in at 7am and getting home at 1 am, had to setup at the convension center. I'd go in sick, had a fever of 106 because of strep and 2 flue strains, I did more than my share, just depends on how bad you want it.

I hear that. Monday I was out because I couldn't use my clutch. But that's a whole 'nuther story... Hurt like blazes tuesday - but I'm not losing an awesome career because of a bum knee!
