For New Jersey’s Jerry Hoose that experience went well beyond the typical money and time constraints, problems with parts fitting or work being done correctly. For Hoose, he also had to deal with his car almost burning up in a shop fire and then having to have to bring it back to life. So yeah, it’s safe to say that this guy knows a thing or two about perseverance. Jerry has been involved in the car scene with his dad, from street racing to organized track racing and going to shows, ever since he was a teenager.
