Troy Wilson

#F5

Troy Wilson drives the #F5 Demo Derby Class car. He lives in  Union Grove, N.C. His home track is The New Three Eleven Speedway in Madison, N.C. but he can also be found racing at Carolina Motor Sport Park.

He started racing in 1971 in the Street Stock  Class at Firebird Freeway because he was "raised around racing". His first win was in  1971 in Street Stock Class at Firebird Raceway. Career highlights include, 1978 Track Champion Top Comp., 1978 ET Record in Spokane, Washington and Miles Per Hour Record in Portland Oregon. He started building racing chassis in 1983.

The thrill of racing for  Troy is "the speed, noise and the smell of alcohol." The most exciting racing moment for him was having to hit the Records in the alter-drag car. He is most proud of having to be picked Mechanic of the Year two years in a row at his home track in Idaho.

Troy's racing hero  is "Anything with Dodge Power".

Of racing, Troy says, "Go for it!".
