(FAQ's from my Fans)

Q: What got you started in Racing?:
A: My Father was a motorcycle racer and once I started to travel with him I caught the ever so popular "race bug". Went to a local race-track one day and fell in love with go-carts and my father bought me one and we started out simple, and ended up where I am today.



  Q: What is your best Memory or Greatest Achievements in your Racing Career?:
A: Many thing's have stood out in my career, finishing 3rd in my first Ohio Speedweek race at Fremont Speedway against some of the best. Although nothing beats your first 410 victory, it came at Attica Raceway Park at the Open Wheel Shootout what a night too win it on, with only sprint cars in the pits and the fans full, there wasn't enough words to describe my excitement.
 
Q: Who do you look up to in racing or who has given you the most guidance in racing?:
A: A tough answer for almost any driver. Drivers have so much help to get where they are anymore, that it's tough to single one person out and say they helped the most in their success. I would say it would be my father, he has helped and sacrificed everything he has had to get me where I am today. I'll never be able to fully repay him for what he has done, but without his help I wouldn't be where I am today. As far as racing goes, I would say Dick Liskai; Dick has helped me from the first day up until he passed away. He helped me into racing by building my first racecar and helping me get the hand in racing. There's not enough nice words to say about him, but I know he's up somewhere nice racing in his own racing looking down smiling at the success he started with my team.
 

Q: What are your plans for 2009?:
A: 2009 is a question mark for team TGE. We will most likley be running around the local area of Fremont and Attica, with a few AsCoC shows and a few WoO shows. We will be looking to do some more travling than we did in 2008, but due to economy woes we will need to wait and see.

 

 



     
Q: What was your thoughts of last year 04?
A: 04 wasn't a bad season but yet it wasn't the best one we could have had. We ended up with 2 feature wins but had a lot of mechanical problems. None that could have been prevented just were bad luck that came about within the motors. We finished 4th at Attica Raceway Park in the championship race, and finished 7th at Fremont Speedway. Overall we were happy, but yet there was still the bittersweet taste in our mouths and it has given us the urge to come on strong in 05'.
 

Q: What would you like to do with your life?:
A: Well, my dream is to be able to race my entire
life! I want to be able to travel with the team and
race every chance we can. Not having to worry about anything but getting into the car and driving with my heart and getting everything I can out of the car.
