Vivian Chiu's Story

Life After high school I went to work at RocketDyne in Canoga Park and worked on the moon rocket at night while going to college. Called to active duty[Naval Air Reserve] Dec.1965 to Sep. 1968. Married 1967 to 1980 two kids,Chris 7-71 and Carly 5-75. Worked for different airlines until 1972. Worked for the Bay Area Rapid Transit District [San Francisco-Oakland] 1972-2002 and have been in the used car business for 18 years. Second marriage since 1987.no kids. Lots of world travel and lived in Europe 1983-84 as part of my job. I have been active in Car and Motorcycle racing off and on since age 16 and am still racing open wheel formula cars today. I sold the car business (4-05) and besides my own Formula car racing I am now traveling with a Pro formula Atlantic (Formula -open wheel road race series) Team as a crew member. Life is good!

l Update 3-2014 Had to give up racing as it just got to expensive. I was not ready to quit and it broke my heart But I went out on top as at age 67 in 2009 I set a Class Track Record at my favorite Track so even Us Old Guy's can get it done! As a lifetime Car Guy I then built the 1932 Ford Hot Rod my Dad would not let me have at 16 and now have a 1961 Chevy Impala Resto-Mod that looks like an Original car on the outside but is completely New and Modern in every way. My Son Chris and his Wife Yvette have brought me 2 beautiful Grand Kids and I love seeing them Grow! I have always had a Love for WW II Aircraft/War Birds and I go for rides in them as often as I can. The P-51 Mustang and B-29 Super fortress are my favorites. My Wife and I have been able to Travel the World and I'm blessed with pretty good health and lots of energy.
