Hammertime Motorsports
For those of you who don't already know, I present you with the story behind Hammertime Motorsports, or more appropriately, the man himself - Hammer.
As an avid car nut, who enjoyed social activities with fellow car nuts, the author was a renown gear head, long before any one event would forever leave its mark. From an early age, Hammer could be found pouring over old copies of the hot-rodders bible, the holy grail of all things motorsports - The Summit Catalog. Many trees gave of themselves as Hammer created one fantasy car after another, listed out the details one by one, to be tucked away in the hopes that one day he might be able to create one of his own.
Hammer would own several cars, but his first still remains close at heart - his 1981 Chevrolet Malibu. After many modifications, this car would carry him through his late teens into his early twenties, as fast as he wanted. At its peak, this car blazed through the quarter mile in a respectable 14.40 seconds at 96 MPH. Not so much a 1/4 mile terror as a good all around car, it was plenty fast, looked good, sounded good, and had a healthy appetite for both 93 octane fuel and B.F. Goodrich Radial T/A tires.
His next car would last him for just a couple years, an in between from one great thing to the next. After 6 years of living with an automatic transmission, Hammer craved the chance to row his own gears in a performance car. A lightweight Ford Mustang LX 5.0 Liter Coupe proved to fill the bill quite nicely. With no options over the base four cylinder coupe save for the Fuel Injected 302 and the 3.08 performance gears, this car would be put through its paces on the 1320. With good traction, Hammer power-shifted his way to a 14.11 second 1/4 at 98 MPH. Not bad for a stock car, but as you might expect, he still longed to achieve the pinnacle of performance.
