Personal History
Started racing late vin life. I am now the oldest finisher of the Parker 250 Quad Ironman Amateur Class. Finished 3rd, 4th, 6th. Also finished 2nd and 3rd in the Pit Challenge in 2011.
Finished the 2007 Baja 500 in 13th place out of 23 starters.
Riding Goals
In 2015 I plan to compete in the Best In The Desert and Score Desert race series.
Competitive Highlights
My recent race experience since March, 2006 has been racing a Honda 400EX and a Honda
Foreman 450 Utility Quad in 2005. In 2005, I was riding the only Utility
Quad in the ATVCCS SS Class and finished the season 2nd in class. All others in my class raced Sport Quads.

Previous race experience was sports cars, a 1970 Datsun 1200 coupe. My main
focus was road rallies and auto cross. From 1970 to 1972, I belonged to a
local club in Shreveport, Louisiana called Dixie Sports Car Club. We
typically had 1 event per month. Over the two years I was active in the
club, I won 19 trophies (1st-4th place) including "Best Datsun" at our
annual event in Hot Springs, Arkansas.
The Hot Springs event was a weekend of three events, 1. road rally, 2.
auto cross, 3. hill climb. I won "Best Datsun" by finishing 1st, 3rd, and
4th respectively. This gave me more points for the weekend than any other
Datsun.
I have always been interested in Off-Road rallies and especially interested
in The Baja. In 2005 I made a completely solo effort at the Baja 500 on
my Foreman 450 utility quad. After two days of pre-running, I injured a
knee and was out before the race started.
My goal is to complete the Baja 250 AND 500, safe and sound, with a
respectable finishing position.
We are, of course, seeking a main sponsorship. Any assistance you could
provide ( quad setup, parts, discounts, travel and entry expense) would be
greatly appreciated.
