Designed, fabricated and drove a 1,400 HP supercharged alcohol funny car from the ground up. Disciplines required were suspension dynamics, Unigraphics, thermodynamics, statics, fabrication, fiberglass, machining, welding, ergonomics and NHRA technical requirements. This was a side business for several years. I believe that there is no more testament to your design than riding it down the quarter mile at 200 MPH. I learned many disciplines that I could apply to other engineering challenges.
