Darr's Story
Who are all these old people? Basically High School sucked a lot for me. I enjoyed Stage Crew a lot because I was able to skip classes at random, Learned a lot in Mr. Wilson's Auto Shop, going to the drags and hanging out with George Byrne, Scott Jeschke, Mike Keyes, and John Firestone.
Spent 30+ years in the TV Commercial business, found my real passion in racing and the Automotive Aftermarket. Now a motorsports journalist, photographer and raconteur. Having fun until, the party is over. I'm busy, I'll be late for my funeral.

urers to help build their businesses. I cover drag racing events all over the Western United States.
Currently I co-host a drag racing show on NitroReports.com and am a contributor to BangShift.com. I consult on marketing issues for six aftermarket racing parts manufacturers and work in Marketing and Video at LionsAutomobilia.org
I've been a disc-jockey and been on the road as part of a couple of drag racing teams. I've been deep into the hot rodding and drag racing world over the past 25 years and met dozens of great friends and made only a few enemies... who hasn't?
I've got two sons. My older son and I built a number of hot rods. He worked as the Art Director of "Junkyard Wars" on The Learning Channel.
I love traveling to cover races in the Western United States on NHRA drag racing and particularly my new passion with Nostalgia Nitro Funny Cars . I've covered IndyCar and NASCAR racing over the last 25 years.
