Tell us about yourself.
I am a former motorcycle racer and stock car racer who loves all types of racing.

My father took me to my first stock car race at the Sportsman speedway in Johnson city, TN when I was about 5 years old. I grew up listening to and watching NASCAR from the 60's. I loved it most in the 60's, 70's, and 80's.

I became an avid drag racing fan....and may have done some illegal street drag racing in my 66 Chevy II, 68 Z28, and my big block 69 Chevelle ...I don't remember.

I started racing motocross at an age when most guys were quitting and then had to quit myself after my injuries became too numerous and didn't heal between races.

I then went on to a brief but very rewarding career racing stock cars on dirt and pavement/concrete. We won 25% of the races we entered and finished with a championship in 2000 when we sat on 15 poles and won 13 of 22 races. All of which was made possible by the mentoring I receved from a stock racing legend by the name of Paul Lewis.

Welcome to RacersReunion

On January 25th, 2008 we created RacersReunion.com, a stock car racing history site. After several months of consideration we have decided to launch a complete RacersReunion community network consisting of all forms of racing. Our goal is to give drivers and fans of all types of racing a central place to contribute and share racing memories. We hope you enjoy your visit and return often...and please tell your friends. Be sure to visit all our communities in the future.

I am surprised and impressed to find a site such as this to participate in and enjoy with other race fans. I am looking forward to exchanging comments and views with others who know what it's like to have dirt in their drink on Saturday nights.

Hi Jeff, Just a quick note thanking you for creating these reunion sites. I can't imagine the time you put into these and I'm sure sometimes you feel you created a monster. Just know how much I appreciate what you've done and giving us old timers a chance to share and collect these great photos. Your sites are a must for anyone interested in the rich history of auto racing.
