Experience in the area
I have been racing for 20 years, I have been the Central Florida SCCA Regional Championship points for 5 years running, and won the championship in my class 2 times. During my first start in the 60's I won many solo awards and the State Championship Drags. I serve as a senior instructor for SCCA, and have taught in Mercedes AMG events at Daytona, and Dodge Viper Days at Sebring International. I have been in the thick of the competition for all of my career. At one time or another I have driven race cars at speeds nearing 195 MPH. It's quite a ride !

What do you like about this subject? Racing has been a passion of mine since my early teens. I love the smell of burning fuel, the noise, the intense competition, and the camaraderie. Basically I love fast race cars !

What do you still hope to achieve/learn in this field? I know that the best way to learn a craft is teaching it. This is why I started instructing as soon as I was qualified. I'm Anxious to help others further their racing interests, and learn the many skills necessary to throughly enjoy the sport. Many of my former students are now my competitors and give me real battles on track. I love it !

Something interesting about this subject that others may not know: Racing is very intense and fast paced. Car preparation and engine work must be just the opposite. Patience, surgical cleanliness, and absolute perfection are a must.

Something controversial or provocative about this subject I enjoy most all mechanical work and do my own preparation, building, engine assembly, and fabrication. I am an accomplished welder, and mechanic. I also enjoy body work, crash repair, and so forth, I can also paint, but don't have the heart to charge for it.
