I own a small hot rod shop in Reading Pennsylvania and build lots of cars and vintage motorcycles.The engines run from flathead Model A engines to vintage Hemis, Caddilacs and Indians and Flathead Harley Davidsons. We have been racing at Bonneville since 1988. My dad, Ed Kowalski Sr., and I were best friends and raced all kinds of hotrods and old drag cars. I lost him in 2010 just a week after we set out first record (after trying for 20 years) with our nitro fueled flathead roadster. I am trying to keep the fire lit that my dad started in me and honor his memory. With a huge amount of help from some great friends we were able to get back to Bonneville in 2011 and take two cars dad and I built. We got within 7 miles an hour (running against a record that was set in 1980) with our roadster. And with our lakester ,that was built from a 1949 F-86 sabre jet airplane surplus fuel tank , we were able to set two records. This year ,with huge help from many friends, we are planning to run three cars at speed week as we just finished a 1931 Ford model A with a 1932 Ford 4 cylinder engine in it to run in street roadster class. We just tested it at the Ohio mile speed trials and are making some improvements.
