James Taylor

#355T

James Taylor (Pontiac Jack) drives the #355T Pro Class car.  He lives in Cerro Gordo, IL.  His home track is Coles County Dragway but he can also be found racing at Cordova, Indy, Joliet and Terre Haute.

He started racing in 1972 in Street Racing because of his need for speed.  His first win was in 1997 in the Pro Class at Coles County Dragway.  Career highlights include ET top qualifier 2000 Pro Coles County Dragway, Runner-Up at 2003 Pontiac Nationals at Cordova, IL, and any night he goes rounds without bye backs. 

The thrill of racing for James is the speed and loud noises.  His most exciting racing moment was runner up at the Pontiac Nationals and winning Indy Track Points at Coles County Dragway.  He's most proud of qualifying 3 years in a row to the ET Nationals at Indy.

John Force (especially when he drove Pontiacs) is James's racing hero.

Of racing, James says, "If you have a need for speed bring it to the track!".
