KAM Raceway (NE) - Scaled Sprint #88
|
Awards & Accomplishments | Many wins in 33 years of drag racing and Mini-Sprint racing. My biggest accomplishment was getting my son Jay into racing. He has had many wins. | Career Summary | I started in drag racing with my stock 1974 Plymouth Roadrunner. I also raced a 1970 'Cuda which I still own. My Mini-Sprint career began in 1980 with a home-made frame I built myself. In 1991 I got out of the driver's seat and turned it over to my son. My son was injured in 1997 as a car fell on him as he was working on it, ending his racing career. 1998 saw me make the jump back into driving! I have raced in Missouri, Kansas, Oklahoma, and Nebraska (Lexington, North Platte, Waverly, Hastings, David City, Litchfield, Eagle, Broken Bow, and Fairbury). | Racing Goals | My racing goals as of today are just to race, have fun, try to help others race, be able to make more races, and be a fair driver. | Other Interesting Team Information | I am a Mopar car owner with a 1970 AAR 'Cuda, 1974 Road Runner, 1985 Shelby Charger, 1999 1500 Ram with a lot of racing parts in it, 2007 3500 Ram to pull my trailer, and 2003 PT Cruiser GT with goodies. I chose my car number 88 because, no matter if it is upside down or right side up, it is the same. I have a lot of stores to tell in the 33 years that I have raced, but there is not enough space! |
