Driver Information

Racing on and off since 1973. Started in CORRA off-road series in a dune buggy in the 1970's. I've raced at 10 tracks in Ontario and Florida, including Sebring, Shannonville and East Bay.

Racing Honda Mini Stock #265 since 1999. 42 wins at Ohsweken in just over 400 races, in a little over 200 nights of racing. 194 Top-5's. 10 Feature Wins.

I build and maintain my own car, despite having no mechanical training.

I've never won a Class Championship, but came 2nd twice, losing both times to a guy in his early 20's. I was in my early 60's at the time, racing a home-made car. He was racing a car that had previously been outlawed, and was outlawed again afterwards, built by his uncle, the tech guy. All things considered, I think I did o.k.
