T.

The thrill of racing for T. D. is the competition.  His most exciting racing moment was running 3 wide at Shady Hill Speedway.  He's most proud of putting a car completely on it's nose on the front straight away at Medaryville and still being able to drink a beer after the race.

Of racing, T. D. says, "There's no rush like it, when you've done it once, you'll do it the rest of your life!".
