Driver Information
Started racing enduro cars with a 1978 Monte Carlo. Turned that car into a dirt street stock at Ransomville for 1997. Switched to Dirt Pro Stocks in 1998 and picked up first win. Bought the final car Ed Ortiz drove for 1999 and won the Ransomville pro stock championship and the king of the hill 100. 1999 also had several starts on the Dirt pro stock tour. For 2000 Kipp Ortiz built us a new car and although we came up short on the Ransomville championship, we won 7 races including another King of the hill 100. We also ran more series races and finished in the top ten despite not running all the races. 2001-2004 saw many dirt sportsman starts but we never ran a full points campaign. Starting in 2003 I started racing 360 sprint cars for Dave Macleod reaching victory lane at Ohsweken speedway. Sprint cars continued through 2006 while also adding in TQ midget starts for Vinnie Christiano. 2005 saw starts in TQ's, dirt sportsman, dirt super stocks and 360 sprint cars. 2006 started real life with the birth of my first daughter. Scaled back to Vinnie's TQ's around a dozen times a year for the next few years with wins at Lancaster and Perry. 2009 saw a championship run fall just short. After the 2009 season I took several years off returning to TQ's first with Ed Guzinski and later with Norm Macleod. Eventually I bought Norms equipment and have continued running 20ish races a year between Mighty midgets, East coast TQs and CanAm. 2023 saw a start in a 350 super modified at Oswego with a 4th place finish.
