About

“Hi, my name is Troy and I’m a racing addict.”

I’m an amateur racer and this is my amateur blog. This site is for those who race cars, or want to race cars, but don’t have an unlimited budget. Once you get bitten by the racing bug, your life changes forever. You constantly think about making your car better. You constantly look forward to your next race weekend. You constantly dream about taking the checkered flag. And you constantly wonder how you’re gonna pay for it all! So I developed this site to share ideas about Racing On The Cheap. Come on, join me for the ride… 

Currently I’m racing my recently completed 1971 Datsun 510 Wagon. I built it with the help of my buddies and couldn’t have done it without them. And I am luckily married to a wonderful wife who understands my car habit. To help with some expenses I also enjoy a terrific sponsorship from the Nissan Parts Warehouse. Here are some pictures are of my current race car, my past race cars, and other cars I have raced.

As well as building and racing my current car, I also enjoy instructing with a couple of clubs. And by day I work as a commercial pilot. Feel free to contact me at racingonthecheap@gmail.com.
