In 2002 was named Meguiar’s Collector Car Hobbiest of the Year. One of the first participants in the Cannonball Baker Sea-To-Shining Sea Memorial Trophy Dash in 1971 and 1975 (the latter in a Hertz rental car). Has driven factory-sponsored cars for Saab in part of the world speed/distance record run at Talladega.
