Bruce has loved cars, since, well..., the womb! From building and racing go-karts as a kid, to drag racing Mavericks and Mustangs, to roadracing Formula Fords, dirt track go-karts, Legends oval tracking in a '34 Ford Coupe, and back to drag racing and open tracking a street Mustang, he's seen it all. On his bucket list are to race the 24 hours of Daytona (yea-right!), surpass 200MPH (not necessarily at Daytona), and convert his '95 Mustang into a Ford GT / GT-40 emulation! He met James Lawrence at PRI 2009 in Orlando, and the rest is history.
