Since Big Chief was young he has been interested in cars and racing, including horses – he was either training horses with his mother or working on cars with his father. At nine years old, he was riding his bike to go to the city street racing scene and watch the races. Soon he moved to Oklahoma, and became involved with the racing scene there. His passion led to him being the eventual owner and manager of the races; if anyone wants to race on Oklahoma Streets, Big Chief is the one to approach.
Even before he was part of the street racing scene, he was already saving money to build his dream car, which would eventually become “The Crow” – a 1972 Pontiac Lemans. He has customized nearly everything about the car, putting in a Machine Balanced Pontiac Big Block motor, custom built Twin Turbo Pistons, Advanced Racepak Wiring, and 12.5” tires.
