About yourself: My real name is Frederick Charles Lightfoot JR, thus the Nickname Joe. Born in England in 1944, came to Canada in 1948. Am completely useless in any kind of sport except auto racing.
Have been lucky enough to have had a job I thoroughly enjoyed for 36 years which was installing TV antennas.
In 1994 I was especially lucky to find my wife Cheryl who loves the racing scene and lets me get away with ALMOST anything.
