I started racing 1/4 midgets when I was 6 years old. The first track was in Lawndale and then in 1959 we built a new track at 190th and Normandy. I raced there until 1967 when I was old enough to get a USAC licence and then raced at ASCOTT in Midgets and Sprints until July 1969 when I went into the service. I only had a few races after I came back from Viet Nam and my last race was in York, Pa. I wrecked my Sprinter and had a spinal compression injury. The Army took my Comander's release and told me that if I wanted to race I had to get out of the Army. Since I was getting paid for that job and I had a wife a kid and my Sprinter was pretty well totalled it was no-brainer... Racing was out and Flying was in.

Now that I've bored the stuffing out of everyone.... But' it was a fun trip down memory lane.
