Terry started racing in 1990 in the B (125cc) Class at Southern Illinois Raceway because he was interested as a child, was on a pit crew for a Stock car, owned and drove a Stock car, quit before getting married and then fell in love with Micro-Sprints.  His first win was that same year.  Career highlights include Track Champion at Southern Illinois Raceway, B-Class in 1990, Top 3 in Points at SIR from 1990-1994, moving to Multi Class in 1999.

The thrill of racing for Terry is just being on the track.  His most exciting racing moment was his first Feature race win.  He's most proud of having met many great people over the past 16 years and running clean races.
