What was your fondest memory @ the Ten?
My Senior Year!!!!

What have you been up to since the Ten?After graduating from Centennial High I attended L.A. Trade Technical College. I graduated with an Automotive Associate degree, I began employment with a Compton transmission shop. My first goal was to purchase that same transmission shop. Within four years, I purchased the company and it grew from a small shop to one of L.A.'s first minority-owned speed shops, Racer's Emporium. Due to the lack of drag racing in Southern California, I opened a stereo and automotive accessories store instead of a high performance shop in Rialto, CA.

I began building custom street cars and hot rods and continue to do so to this day. I am the Founder & CEO of Ware Enterprises also the Publisher/Editorial Director of two of the first black internet magazines Black Drag Racers.com & Black Hot Rodders.com.

I also own Wayne Ware Web Designs: (Specializing in Quality & Custom Web Designs), Ware Graphics: (Specializing in Creative Graphic Design), Ware Motorsports: (Drag Racing Team), Race Ware & Race Guy: (Race, Active & Street Apparel) & Wayne Ware Photography: (Specializing in Drag Racing & Auto Photography), All Ware Enterprises Companies.
