Jokers Wild Racing History
.

In 1979 Kevin got behind the wheel of his 1964 Ford F-100 and pulled up to the line, when the green light flashed.......... he was "hooked"

That day was all it took, Kevin has been staring down the quarter mile ever since!

In 1982 Kevin wedded his best friend Jayne and joined the USAF where he was assigned to FE Warren Air Force Base in Cheyenne, Wyoming. In 1984, He was blessed with a son Ty...Living in Cheyenne did not stop Kevin from the "Drag Race" scene, since Bandimere raceway in Denver, Colorado was only 97 miles away and that wasn't a bad drive. Next he bought a 1969 Mach I powered by a 428 cobra jet and a 4 speed and "off to the races" we go!

In 1988 Kevin left the USAF and moved back to Utah to start his own company," Classic Restorations" where he builds classic and antique automobiles, He then built a 1965 mustang fastback with a 351 Cleveland and power glide which ran modest mid 11 second et's...but that was not fast enough, so the next project had to be a much lighter car with more power! along came an "Altered" with a 468 BBC injected on alcohol which brought him into the 8 second zone...he competed in the altered for 3 years and won awards being the fastest altered in Boise, as well as numerous best appearing awards! But again, still not fast enough!

This thing was WILD !!

That brings us to the current ride, The Jokers WILD FMD! Kevin ran the FMD circuit utilizing the "Blown Alcohol" set-up for 1.5 years. But something was lacking......NITRO! so here we go again, A~Fuel...After meeting Dana Hopewell and Ralph Freeman (the A~Fuel GODs), that was all she wrote, he was hooked even deeper, since there are 5 FMD cars in Utah and all are using the Blown Alcohol set-up, Kevin felt that the fans deserve to see an A~ Fuel combo also, so that is what he did!

Kevin feels that he is in his element and at home with the fans and friends that he meets! "since we all have to have a reason to do what we do.... the fans, friends, sponsors is just that reason for me!"

"You know, the fans are everything....they want someone to identify with, most of working class does. I feel that as a competitor that is my passion to make people happy! that's why I race.. After going to a lot of National events and seeing the amount of spectators that are there to see a show and to meet the Teams, I realized this is my calling! Now I know that I will never be the Greatest driver in the world! but as long as the fans come out...I'll be there!" Kevin

If you come to the races please stop and say HI!
