About myself: I've been interested in Motorsports for long time. A friend and I went to see the 1st Players 200 at Mosport in June, 1961. During the sixties I competed in many navigation rallies, 4 or 5 road race weekends, and a couple of hillclimbs. This was followed by some racing on dirt tracks with a Mini in 'mini stock' races. Later I worked as pit crew for a couple of friends, one with a Mini and the other with a Titan Formula Ford in the Bulova Series. In the mid-seventies I became interested in motorcyles and competed in enduros and ice races. On one occasion I was a finisher in BEMC's 2 day, Corduroy Enduro. In the eighies I earned a glider pilots licence and enjoyed the solitude of the sky but then decided to keep my feet on the ground and came back to cars. Since then I've been a marshall and scrutineer as well as the President of the St. Lawrence Auto Club in Kingston. I returned to the track as a driver for VARAC's Festival in 2002 which I enjoyed immensely. I look forward to many more weekends with VARAC.
