My name is Neal Watts, better know as zx12rdr. I am 34 years old and live in Mobile, Alabama. I'm married to my wife SeAnn. We have 4 children, Christina, Brett, Jeffrey and Kelsie.
I was in the U.S. Air Force for 9 years asa crew chief on F-4's and a flight engineer on C-141's. I am currently an aircraft sheetmetal worker at Mobile Aerospace Engineering.
I don't have any background or know anyone that was involved in racing. Growing up it was all about football with my dad and older brothers. I didn't start following NASCAR until 1994. The first race I remember was at Charlotte where Rusty Wallace hit the water barrels at the end of pit road. A friend at the time had Nascar Racing and let me run a few laps at Bristol. I have been hooked ever since. My first game was Nascar 2. I first started with just calling my friend and racing head to head. That was about the time T.E.N. started but I was only on that a couple of months. I then was on an offline racing series for a couple of years with Nascar 99. I ran the truck and Bush series during that time. I never bought N3 because I was waiting for N4 to be released. N4 was when my online fun really started.
One day about a year ago I stumbled across a server called Christian Racing. After racing with them that night I went to the lobby and talked to the guys there. They told me of the web site and I went there and found out what they stood for and were trying to accomplish. After racing with them and talking to the group I knew where I wanted to race online.
I would like to thank Timbercats, Barefoot Jim, Blackjack, Ric78, Ragawolfe, Matmuirr, Geerail, UKJake, Ike Clanton, Brooks Switzer and Jonnym12, some of the first guys I raced with, for helping me find a home in online racing.
