I bought a champ kart from the very respected and well known Witchcraft Racing and form there on it was history in the making!  I won my first race in the new car the third time out at Borger's Speedway against the famed Wolf family.  I also won 13 times at Snydersville Speedway in the same year.  I finished 1st in points that year at Snydersville Speedway and 5th in points at Borger's Speedway.  It was a year to remember. It was all over shadowed by the fact that for the first time my Cousin Tommy asked me to drive his champ cart in hopes of selling it.  It worked, he sold the car and that was more special to me than anything that happened that year.  Thanks Tommy!  I had a-lot of financial backing from Subway Sub Shops of Boonton N.J. along with Cooper Electric in Paterson N.J. and Sea Breeze Automotive in Bloomfield N.J..  Things were really going great!

I took a year off selling all my equipment in hopes of gaining money needed to buy a new form of racecar that had just started to pick up called ''Slingshot'' The car was built by the famed Tobias family and was a spec class that really relied on the driver and crew more than the car.  So we thought!  We finally bought one and began learning that you just cant put the car on the track and expect it to go.  Set up was a real key and we worked on that for many years winning a short number of times.  My crew and I learned a-lot in the last couple of years.

After my karting days and loosing all my sponsors I found keeping my head above water in racing is a tedious task and worth all the smashed knuckles ad sweat.  I love my crew and would be nothing without them.  I did eventually get back on track last year putting all the pieces in place, crossing my T's and dotting my I's and am ready for what lies ahead.  I will continue this year with my good friend and Webmaster, who also designs and hosts this website - Jim Bangert - of Wildfire Enterprises www.wildfire-ent.com.  Without his encouraging words and support, none of this would be possible!  Also, Jim's website NJ Shore Guide is another longtime sponsor who will also be along for the ride www.shore-guide.com.  Another longtime sponsor FLR Grafix will also be with us as well www.flrgraphix.com.  A new sponsor has agreed to come and join our winning team for this season, Witten Building Technologies Has agreed to a one year deal and is really looking forward our new partnership together.  Dan Witten the Owner of W.B.T. is one of the most genuine men I have ever met and I hope to have his support in the years to follow.
