I have been racing motorcycles since 1986.
My first racing season was on a Yamaha RD400 running in the ARRA and AFM series at Willow Springs. I also competed and finished in the Willow Springs 24 hour endurance race on a 1975 CB400FSS (1986 through 1988).
In 1987 I won 4 championships in ARRA and AFM in the following classes: Formula 3 North and Formula 3 South (TZ 125), Formula 4 (TZ 125), 250cc SuperStreet (TZ 125).
In 1988 I finished number three overall in all classes in ARRA on the TZ 125. Won the AFM South and National championships on the TZ 125.
I also started racing in the AMA Pro Castrol 250 GP series in 1988 and continued in 1989 on Honda RS 250.
Also in 1989 I started in the AMA Pro Twins class on Honda Hawk GT.
I have campaigned on a Honda Hawk GT in various forms in AMA, WERA, AHRMA, WSMC ever since then.
Starting in 1990, I have also raced every year at the Daytona International Raceway for Motorcycle week. I have 3 Class Championships at Daytona in Supertwins and have finished in the top 3 for Heavyweight Twins several times.
