How did you get involved in
Racing: Went to the races as a kid at Mineola
Speedway, than to Devil's Bowl and Sportsdrome as a
teen - always dreamed of being a race car driver.
After HS graduation, Mike Roden and Bill Thompson
offered to help me build my first car.
Hobbies or other interests: LOL! Am I supposed to have time for
'other' interests?
Most memorable moment in racing: My favorite memory is the year 1980 -
won Rookie of the Year at Sportsdrome Speedway - won
6 features that season. My most recent memorable moment is the TMS race
in March 2005 - ran from the "J" Main to the "A" feature.
