How long have you been racing?

On and off since 2000.

 

How did you get started in racing?

A drug dealer skipped town and his land lord gave my dad his sand rail. I broke my back BMX dirt jumping a couple days later. I read 20year old hot VW mags and books for a month or two with lots of info on off-road racing. Drug dealer tracked us down and asked for his car back. I traded a Baja bug for an antique organ and fixed it up. sold it so I could buy a old Funco race chassis and built it into a short course race car in a month while attending high school.
