BIO: I started racing in 1968 after serving my country. Bought a 68 GTO and
went racing at Island.
From the mid 70s-80s I was out of racing until a friend moved to Pa in the
early 90s and a GTO followed him home from Phoenix.
He joined the local GTO club and I went racing again. In the early
2000s he started a family, and fellow MANDRA member BIG PONCHO told me about
MANDRA. I joined in 2001 racing a GTO but by luck found the Catalina
in 2002.
I always wanted a 62 and try to keep it nostalgic looking.
I like racing with MANDRA. Even
though we get competitive at times, everyone pitches in to help a fellow
racer in need.
