Hi, my name is Marc. I'm 28 years old and live in Indiana. I have a BS in Mechanical Engineering (with Physics and Math minors). I work for the Navy as a Systems Safety Engineer. I'm also currently pursuing an MS is Systems Engineering.
After watching TG on BBC America, I fell in love with the show. The challenges, the commentary, the cars...it is the perfect show. When looking for more info on the show, I came across this forum. Seeing how it appears that people here dig a lot of the same stuff I do, I had to join.
My current rides:
2002 Ford F-150 Supercrew
1994 BMW 325is
1986 Honda Nighthawk
Other vehicles I own in the process or waiting to be restored/fixed-up:
1948 and 1950 Ford F1 (will be a hot rod)
1970 Chevy Chevelle with a BBC
1978 Chevy Blazer
1978 Jeep CJ-7
I'm in to
music (I listening to everything, but currently am into Texas Music. I play the guitar a little. In high school, I played the trombone in a ska band),
Camping,
Racing (Mostly IndyCar and other open wheel racing. I spend all my free time in May hanging around the garages of the Indianapolis Motor Speedway for the Indy 500. In 2005 I worked for an Indy Lights team (then called the Indy Pro Series. We ran the support race for the Indy 500, qualifying 3rd in our first time out, but wrecked on the first lap. My family also participates in lawnmower racing at the oldest lawnmower race in the world, the Twelve Mile 500 (
www.twelvemile500.com). This year my cousin won the race. I was on his pit crew.),
Fishing,
Cars (as you can see I have a few projects to complete),
Traveling,
