Hobbies: “My hobbies are reading, surfing at the beach.  I really don’t have much time for hobbies, I work a lot and am a full-time student.”

Favorite vacation spot: “My favorite vacation spot is anywhere near the beach or water. Wherever it is hot, you got me.”

Favorite food: “Well I am a Cajun girl, so I love my Grandma’s gumbo, love jambalaya, and pretty much anything that my Grandma makes is the best.”

Typical weekend: “My weekends are usually spent working during the day because that is when special events that I model for are going on. During the summer I am at the beach if I can be. I try to go out at night but usually it is Sunday night before I get to go out, and I prefer to go to bars over nightclubs, and just hang out.”

One thing you could not live without: “One thing I could not live without would be… probably chocolate, specifically milk chocolate, and Reese’s cups, I have one of those probably everyday.”

Describe yourself in 3 words: “Three words that describe me would be: optimistic, personable, and determined.”

Jim Cunningham’s 2010 Pro Stock Mustang

Something you may not know about Jim’s Pro Stock Mustang: The 2010 Pro Stock Mustang comes with a carbon fiber body.  The chassis was designed by chassis builder Don Ness, Ford Racing, and Cunningham Motorsports.

Cunningham’s story with Ford Racing: Jim Cunningham has been with Ford for years, even when his Mustang could not keep up with the GM and Mopar-powered cars. After a few years of being in the back of the pack, Jim got together with Ford and decided they wanted to be back at the top again, and that is how his 2010 Mustang came about.

Ford Racing’s 2008 Mustang FR500S

Why this car was built: This car is #56 of only 75 that were built. They were built by Ford specifically to be entered into the Mustang Challenge for the Miller Cup. It is the first time in Ford’s history that they have produced a line of cars specifically for a race series on their assembly line.

One unique thing about this car: This Mustang is unique in the fact that it has a passenger seat. Most racecars have only one seat, but this one carted around different celebrities and media personnel, so a second seat was needed.

Why they are auctioning this car off: Ford Racing & Capaldi Racing are auctioning this Mustang off at the Barrett Jackson Auctions, for the St. Jude’s Children Hospital of Memphis, Tennessee. All of the proceeds will be given straight to the hospital.

Pat Musi’s Pro Mod Dodge Stratus

One thing you may not know about Pat’s Pro Mod: After a few races with Musi and his new Pro Mod, people began to slowly let out the name King Kong V, and once it was leaked, the Pro Mod featured a big picture of the Gorilla on both sides of the car.

Musi vs. Christian: Back in ’02 legendary rivals Pat Musi and Tony Christian had a rematch that ended with Christian winning. Just recently they went at it again, this time Musi was equipped with his new Pro Mod and the tables turned. Musi won by taking two out of the three races.

Pat Musi’s awards: Pat Musi has been a Pro Street Champion 8 different times throughout his years of racing. Now with this Pro Mod, he is at it again. Pat Musi has become the first nitrous fuel injected Pro Mod to break into the 5’s on a ¼ mile track. He also holds the fastest 1/8th mile run with an ET of 3.91 @ 192 mph.
