Hey everybody. So after designing the web page for Tabor Racing I have decided to make a page that is all about me. Let’s call it getting to know the driver. Well if you don't know me, here is the deal. I am 24 I just graduated from the University of Nevada Reno. I got a BS in Business Management, with minors in Computer Information Systems and Marketing. . My dog's name is Sierra and the family dog is named Zak. I play a lot of golf if I did not race I would spend all of my time on a golf course. See my Golf Page In high school I played football for the many time state champs Robert Mcqueen High School. I graduated with a four year GPA average of a 3.4 which was good enough to get a what is called a millennium scholarship which in essence gave me a full ride to a Nevada school.
I have been around racing all of my life, my dad and uncle have been racing
before I was born. Even on the day I was born once seeing that I was perfectly
fine and healthy my dad went on to race that night. As you can see racing is
in my blood. When I was 16 I was promised to drive my own sprint car built by
old parts we had lying around. Unfortunately things did not work out like that.
A very good family friend named John Hansen was building a sprint car. He passed
away 6 months later, of cancer. He gave me his whole operation. In which we
finished the car, painted it like he wanted it and raced the Gold Cup for him.

the pictures in the pictures page)
My racing career started in 1997 when I raced the last three races of the year.
In 1998 I won the rookie of the year at Twin Cities Speedway. I had a sophomore
slump in 1999. In 2000 I had a great year; I won my first heat race and finished
in the top ten at Twin Cities and the top 32 in the California Civil War Series.
In 2001, was by far my best year I finished 5th in points at Twin Cities Speedway,
top 20 in CCWS a 4th place 360 at the gold cup and a 16th place in the A at
the Fall nationals. 2002 and 2003 were not very good years for me, other than
a couple of high points, I did not have fun. Last year was a lot of fun, I contended
in a couple of races, did a whole revamp on my chassis setups, and the future
prospects of these setups is something that I am looking forward to.
