Thanks for spending some time with us Jeff!
1. Tell us about you as a person?
First, I’m a single Dad with shared custody of my 11 year old daughter. Most important job I’ve ever had and the product is pretty stellar so far! I love the business of racing and business in general as well. When not involved in those pursuits, I like to golf, mountain bike, play and listen to music… I feel like the whole sports car racing world is my extended family and I’m happy to be part of the HPA Motorsports clan.
2. Best memory automotive related?
So many memories both before and after I got involved in racing.. One from before is when I came up with a solution to when the secondaries of the 4-barrel carb on my Torino (351 Cleveland) would not open after a rebuild no matter how light a spring I put in. Obviously my error, so I ran a bicycle brake cable from the disconnected secondary butterfly to the parking brake release and, when I needed some extra acceleration, I would slowly open the secondary by pulling the brake release lever with my left hand… Once my Dad was driving it and I told him to pull the brake release and the car jumped forward!
3. Something you have always wanted to do and have not yet?
I would love to catch a ride with a Navy Pilot for a cat shot off of a carrier in an F-18…
4. Favorite quote?
Don’t cry because it’s over, smile because it happened – Dr. Seuss
5. First Car?
1967 Mercury Cougar GT 428 CJ – Amazing I’m still alive…
6. Anything you want to share?
I’m proud to be driving for HPA Motorsports in their first foray into Pro Racing and I can’t wait to put their hard work and expertise on the top step of the podium!
