| | Career Summary | I grew up watching my dad at old Playland Speedway in Council Bluffs, Iowa. After my military service I began building and racing street cars. Then I began drag racing, and in 1987 built my first Stock Car. I rolled that car my very first night of racing. I won my first race four weeks later in a new car. Since then I have raced Street Stock, Limited Late Model, Bronco, and Econo Stock. I have raced in Kansas, Nebraska, Iowa, Colorado and Minnesota.
| | Racing Goals | I now want to do tribute or vintage racing. My 1976 Camaro bodied Late Model is a tribute replica to Don Hoffman's Pizza Hut Bandit out of Des Moines, Iowa from the 70's. The last car I saw of his was a '76 Nova but I think he had a Camaro too. I hope he doesn't mind!
