About Me:

I was born in 1951 and have been a Jaguar guy for most of my life. Been Racing in Vintage since 2010.

What car(s) do you own?

I race a 1964 Jaguar XKE Coupe. The Jaguar has been a race car since 1968 and was originally raced out of Canada. I've done major work on the Jaguar to make it competitive in group 6BP

What do you like to do (e.g. vintage race with...)?

I love the people and the comradery. I also like traveling with my buds who help prep the Jag for each race. The weekends are great fun. The energy when racing is very invigorating!

What clubs do you belong to?

I'm licensed through VSCDA but have raced with SVRA, CVAR, HSR and HVR.

What would you like to do (e.g. go to race school; get into Vintage Racing)?

I'm 75 years old now and would like to continue racing until age 80, going to a new track that I haven't raced at each year.

What vintage, historic, classic etc. cars would you like to own?

I like what I currently own but would be interested in acquiring a Panther DeVille
