As a young boy, I would stare at the television every weekend watching David Pearson, Dale Earnhardt, and Darrell Waltrip racing round the track.  I would beg my parents to take me to Golden Sands Speedway, so I could hang on the fence and scream for Dick Trickle, Larry Detjens, Tom Reffner,and Marv Marzofka.  If there was a race in my area, I’ld find a way to go.  A fair with a race, I was there.  Guess I just loved the speed and competition. 

As I got older, I found other sports that could quench some of my competitive appetite.  In high school, I played in many sports; went to state in Track, and threatened the same in Football.  Later went on to earn a National Championship in college football. 

After graduating college with a double major and double minor, I took my competitive nature to the marketplace.  Like many people, I moved around the country in search of a satisfying career.  Got myself a good one, but there was still something missing. 

Then in 1998, my life had a bit of change, and I had the opportunity to act on a lifelong dream.  Hey let’s go racing.  I bought my first race car (go ahead and ask me how).  I started off with just the basics, pure stock division.  At first it was like driving a dump truck in an ice rink, but as I learned, it got to be somewhat satisfying.  Will, desire, and commitment finally started to pay off, as we started winning in late 1998 and 1999. 

At the end of 1999, we were ready to move up a division, as we were finishing in the top five on a regular basis.  Then it happened; the nasty accident.  I had already acquired a Sportsmen car, and enhanced the chassis, but 2000, turned out to be a year for unscrambling the eggs.  We skipped it …

In 2001, we were back in the game, competing in the limited late model division.  It was like a roller coaster, taking the good results with the bad.  One afternoon, in practice, an over-aggressive driver decided to loose it and crash six cars.  Another season ended short.  Financing this whole deal on my own, it was time to prepare for next year.  Sure, it would be great to have sponsors at this point, but I am a firm believer in proving myself before asking for money. 

2002 and 2003 were moderate years, as my job restricted my time for racing. In 2004, we moved to ASA late models, and were back making progress. Let.s just say, 2005 was expensive.

We made many changes for 2006, and they are really paying off. We are much more consistent, and getting closer to the front of the field.
