Favorite Foods and Drinks: This is a difficult question since I like everything, except for yellow squash or cauliflower. I've had alligator, buffalo, rattlesnake, armadillo, moose, deer, elk, lion, chocolate covered ants, squid, shark, snails, and cat (no, they do not taste like chicken). I guess I like all kinds of stuff, and am willing to try anything. Top of the list though is alligator, followed closely by lobster. After that, in order, is seafood, pork, veal, chicken, and beef. I also like all types of drinks, coke, milk, ginger ale, prune juice, apricot nectar,just about everything, except for anything diet. Cold Budweiser is #1. Alcohol wise I prefer Black Russians, White Russians, Rum, and other sweet drinks.
Favorite Movies, Favorite TV Shows , and Actors / Actresses: Favorite movies, well there is a whole lot of them! Apocalypse Now, The Wall, by Pink Floyd, Hombre, Alien, Predator, Up In Smoke, Cheech & Chong's Next Movie, and Nice Dreams. TV shows include Alf, Mork & Mindy, and Seinfeld. Favorite actors are Robin Williams, Robert DiNero, and Paul Newman. Actresses, Diedra Hall of Days Of Our Lives, Whoopie Goldberg, and Meryl Streep.
Favorite animals: Ardvaarks, there name is cool, and how can you say that an animal who sleeps all day, and then parties all night, eating ants and such, is not cool.

Here is Russ Crump, owner of North Port Auto Body, in Florida. Whether it is great paint schemes and graphics on race cars, golf carts, boats, motorhomes, or fiberglass replicas of wall mounted fish, the results are the same, Fantastic! Being a racer himself, and former crew chief for a Pro Mod team, he knows the needs of racers when it comes to paint and graphics. His client list includes the Mel Eaves '63 Corvette cover car for Super Chevy Magazine, Super Mario's jet engine powered Chevy S-10 truck, Dan Bandish's "Modern Day Outlaw" Pro Mod cars and dragsters, and the Southern Snacks team of Ron Ortiz's cracked granite wagon, Steve Hunt's Super Comp dragster, and Truman Fields's Pontiac Firebird.
Russ has been a good friend for some time, he was at my wedding, we coach football together, has helped me with my race car, has fixed our daughters minor car accidents, and is just a great all around guy.
| If you could go anywhere in the world, where would you like to visit: I really want to visit the Great Northwest. The big trees, Pacific Ocean not far away, lush landscape, mountains. I've been pretty much around most of the USA, and all of it is great, Pennsylvania in the fall, Maine in the winter, Chicago in the spring, and California in the summer. Out of country, I would really like to visit China, they really have some very unique landscape.
What do you believe is the worst job in the world? Roofers in Florida. They have to wear long sleeves and pants so they won't get burned by the hot tar, as they swab it on with mops that are splashing, all the while on this hot roof in 90 plus degree temperatures. That is not even thinking about the unbelievable smell of hot tar! Of course being a bank security guard in Alaska has got to be pretty difficult job, everybody is wearing ski masks.
Then what is the best job in the world? The best job in the world is not needing one. Some that come to thought though are beer taster, food taster, thrill rider, high performance vehicle tester, aeronautical travel tester, galaxie explorer, universal overseerer. Or how about a coroner, if you make a mistake, who cares.
What is your favorite car? A 1963 Corvette split window coupe with a 2004 NASA interior.
Philosphy: Where ever you go, there you are.
Advice to aspiring racers: It is a lot of fun, and anyone can be competitive. How fast do you want to go? How much money do you want to spend? Fast or slow, it's competition.
My favorite person is my wife Cindy. She is everything I could ever want, and I am truly blessed to be with her, thank you God. |
