Talking Another NC Blazer Owner Here

Hey, Y'all! Thought I'd introduce myself. My name's Nick. I'm from a little town in North Carolina called Hamlet. Anybody familiar with the Rockingham Dragstrip and race track? Yeah, I live about 10 miles south of there.

A little about me: I'm 21 years old, happily married (our 1 year anniversary was this past Sunday), and own 3 vehicles. I have a 1994 4x4 S-10 Blazer, a lowered 2004 Chevy Silverado 1500, and a 2001 Lincoln Towncar. I'm a professional small engine mechanic by day and a part-time firefighter whenever I'm needed. My wife and I own 5 acres of land and are about to install a brand-new house out there. Im a big off-road rider, but have been more focused on ATV's than trucks. That may all change now that I've joined here... I'm not rich by any means, but I work my butt off to pay for my toys and am proud to say that I (not the bank) own everything. A nice wedding present we recieved a couple months ago helped us get the house.

Anyways, I'm glad to have joined and hope that I can help some people, and maybe entertain others. I'm also a member of Blasterforum.com under the screen name Braaaptor, so in the off chance that anybody here is also on BF, there 'ya go! You may already know me!

Pics of the toys:

My daily driver. It has the 4.3 with a NV3500 5-speed trans. Lowered 2/4", LED taillights and 3rd brake light, DeeZee toolbox, chrome wheels, and a few other little tricks.



The wife's daily driver, and my offroad playtoy:



My favorite toy, my built 2005 Yamaha Blaster. It has a ported and polished top end along with lots of other goodies. And she is fast. I've taken out many a 400ex and one 660 Raptor.

Welcome!

Those are some nice toys!

I'm also 21 but live in Charlotte. I'm not really sure how far away I am from you. Maybe 2 or 2 1/2 hours? But I've been up at that drag strip a few times. You go to Charlotte motor any? Or the Zmax dragway? I'm just a few minutes from there.

Welcome from Kannapolis, N.C.

Nice vehicles you have there, thats a clean lookin blaster too. I had a banshee when I was 16, and in 03 I bought a Suzuki Z400 and built it up to where it ate other built raptors for a snack. I had it set up for MX. I may buy another ATV at the first of the year, but I'll probably go utility instead of sport this time.

Thanks for the welcome, y'all! I've got a couple questions about my Blazer which I'll be sure to ask in the appropriate sections. Glad to be on here!


@ Tibby, no I haven't been to Charlotte for the racing yet, but I'm sure its just a matter of time. I'm about 2 hours east of Charlotte and travel money is a little tight right now.
