How Did You Get Involved With Sudden Impact Racing? I
actually started with one of the original Sudden Impact trucks 7
years ago, but then moved to Andy Slifko's team. Thru that I got
to know the owner of the new SIR team Brandon Lagarde. We saw
each other at different shows and visited on the the phone about
the business. From that the rest is history as they say.
What Did You Do Before Monster Trucks? Carpenter by trade
How Did You Get Involved With Monster Trucks? I would
major involvement was with Andy Slifko's monster truck team. I
started traveling with them from the beginning. Andy and his son
were great to be around. I got to learn a lot about the
mechanics of the trucks and the driving of them. I had been with
Andy long enough that when he built his second truck Backdraft
It just was a natural choice. I must say without Andy's help I
don’t know if would be living a dream like this today.
Have You Driven Any other Monster Trucks? Obsesson,
Backdraft, Eradicator, Sudden Impact, and T-Maxx
Wildest Ride- They are all wild rides in a Sudden Impact
Racing truck!
Most Memorable Race/Freestyle- One of my first times
driving I got to go against Dennis Anderson in San Antonio TX.,
It was Amazing to be racing with one of my heroes in front all
those people
Favorite Competitor To Go Racing With- They are all great
to race with. Each driver and team has their own personality.
But I would say Alex Blackwell And Andy Slifko because of how
close of friends we are.
Achievements- Win the Phoenix show In Sept 06. Also being
able to make the final round at every show I've driven for the
SIR team
Favorite Place to Race- Bangor, ME, Long story
Goals For the Upcoming Racing Season- To win every show I
