When and how did you get started in racing?

Went with my dad in the 60's and got the fever...

My dad, as when he was still alive, he would give me small tips about how geometry and physics would never change on a race car with setup etc.

What would you be doing if you weren't racing?

Going to the races or a male stripper(LOL)

The Competition

What is your greatest accomplishment/best memory?

Have met and enjoyed so many people over the years.

What is the worst thing that has happened to you in racing, or your worst season?

Life flighted out of Lernerville and in hospital for a few days.

In your own words, describe your 2011 season:

Great season, the best help ever and a championship.

What are your plans for the 2012 season?
