Bio

I am a former Race Driver who competed in Midget Racing beginning in 1969. After a number of years during which my wife refused to allow me to race, I divorced her and returned to racing in 1980. My career was, for all practical purposes, ended in a crash at Manzanita Speedway in 1982 when I received a broken neck and back. I have driven on several occasions since in an effort to help the car count locally. I served on the Board of Directors of the Ariz. Midget Racing Assoc. for 7 years and served as the Race Director for 5 years.

I worked with Buzz Rose (Rose Racing Publications) and Steve Estes on the research for Buzz's book "Racers at Rest" for the last 2 years.

Steve Estes and I co-authored the "Racers at Rest 2012 Revised Supplement" and started the "Racers at Rest" Project in conjunction with the National Sprint Car Hall of Fame and Museum Foundation.
