Since the summer of 1968 I have been fortunate enough to have worked in motorsports in one form or another. From the beginnings of sleeping in my van touring the UK pursuing success in the British league Motorcycle Speedway. Driving open wheel and GT cars in SCCA Crewing for IMSA GT and GTP,SCCA Tans-Am. In NASCAR, Truck ,Busch and finally Cup. This journey of passion for motorsport competition has given me great highs and great lows but I would not change any part of it. The lows test one's resolve and raise questions, like is this really what I want to do? am I having fun yet? The highs are what answers these questions with a resounding yes although my sanity has been questioned. People I have met on the way have filled a broad spectrum, from very unpleasant to life long friends that share my passion. During this time I have constantly been studying the science and technology that drives the sport. From the basic Industrial Revolution kinematics to Optical Metrology and photogrammetry. I have a constant desire to improve and modify, lately these involve various motorcycle projects to a straight 12 cylinder hotrod. I ask no one to understand my motivation although my family tries, just stand back and hand me that 1/2 inch flat ratchet.
