How did you get started in racing?

John originally got his start in the infamous "Good Ole Boys" (G.O.B.) class at Crandon International Off-road Raceway in 1987. It wasn't long until he and his friends (Kendal and Warren) joined the Formula 4x4 class in 1992- where TFA Racing was born.

​

No stranger to the dirt, John has raced both short-course and competed in numerous desert races. John began competing in the Baja 1000 starting in 2002 - as well as the Baja 500, San Felipe 250, SCORE 250, and Mint 400 where he has pitted for both Curt and Todd Leduc.
