I started Chumpcar racing back in 2010. The seat time for the buck was suberb ! I did HPDE through PCA prior to SCCA, Lemons, Used Car Racing, and then Chumpcar. I had 2 different teams and helped set up others. I also worked as a pit marshal. I wrote their pit marshal guide ( they didnt have one previously and working pit lane could be very chaotic). John Condren offered me a driving position in his IROC Camero for the 14 hours of Daytona (May 2012). Unfortunately, due to a death in the family, I couldnt make the race. Too bad, I had my airline ticket down paid by a wealthy widow that wanted me to bring her car up from Florida. A friend had dropped his travel trailer at the track for my use. Everything was set for a remarkable event. Oh well, such is life. I worked with Mike Chisek at a number of races, until I gradually faded out. Due to a serious spine injury, I had to give up driving. That really sucked, but I got to do what many only dream about.
