About Me:: I went to my first race in March 1963 at Sebring. In those days the race cars were garaged in the town of Sebring and driven to the track. I was 14 and had never been to a race, except stock cars in Tampa. On the way into the track, we were passed by a Ferrari GTO. We were in a 1956 Pontiac, and I had never seen or HEARD anything so beautiful. I've been hooked ever since. I also don't believe I have heard or seen anything so beautiful since - except my wife and daughter, of course.

When the race started, there were more Ferrari GTOs, and Ferrari Prototypes. The first lap was led by Phil Hill in a Coba, followed by the first Chaparrals. What a day, what a time.

What car(s) do you own?: 1971 BMW 2800/3.0 CS
1988 BMW 535 is
1998 BMW M3
1978 BMW 323i (Track Car)

What clubs do you belong to?: BMW Car Club of America
National Auto Sports Association (NASA)

What would you like to do (e.g. go to race school; get into Vintage Racing)?: Racing Photography and work on my BMWs. With older cars there is always something to do. New cars are kind of boring, unless they're really fast.
