Driver Information

Started racing enduros when I was in high school in 1985 at Holland Speedway in NY. Raced them from 1985 to 1990. Finished 5th overall in 1989 and 2nd in 1990. Bought my first latemodel in 1991 and competed a full season. Finished 11th in my first race. Won my first heat race in 1992 . Then in 1994 won my first feature. Won again in 1997 and 1998. Took the 1999 and 2000 season off to start a family. Built a new car from scratch in 2001. It's what I am racing today. Price of gasoline didn't allow me to race anymore in NY.

In 2006 switched to racing in Michigan. Ran a few races in at Dixie in 2006. Ran the full season in 2007. Then a few again in 2008. Had to stop again with work having me work in Mexico for 6 months.

Got back at with a new wife and family in 2013-14 at Auto City. Many top 10 finishes. No wins.

It's just a hobby now...not much time to dedicate to it like I use to when I was younger.
