Racing |
I
got introduced to racing by my father. who took
us to races when I was a kid. Even at an age of
12 or so I was keeping down qualifying times and finishing
positions of the heats and features.
Upon my growth into manhood I still loved racing. I walked three miles in 1981 to get to the EM Club at Fort Jackson SC just to watch the Daytona 500. Then life sidetracked me from racing all I did was watch on TV. Then one day I stumbled upon a sprint car race on TNN. I still have some of the early tapes from Devils Bowl and Memphis and of course Knoxville. I got the fever again and started looking for tracks in my area and found that there was one back of Ashland KY. Then I moved to Lexington KY and one night said OK I'm gone and off to Eldora I went. The last time that I had been to a sprint car race, the were turning 16's for a quarter mile. And as I was walking through the parking lot ill never forget that I heard them day that Rocky Hodges had just qualified at 13.... I was on edge and from that day on I've been around it one way or another. |

My Business Jeff and Mikes Treasure Chest of Toys |
In
1992 I started selling Racing Champions and racing Memoribilia
at flea markets for a friend of mine. Well I took
all the money I was making at the time, and buying stock
of my own. I also met one of my best friends Doug
doing this.We later became associates.
At the time I was living in Ohio, but when things went south there so to speak I moved to Indianapolis, the racing capitol of the world. It was working in a resteraunt in Pittsboro IN that relly got to know my other friend Jeff. And in 1999 He and I formed Jeff and Mikes Treasure Chest of Toys specializing in collectable toys of all kinds but focusing on Plastic Models, Hot Wheels,Racing Diecast, and Star Wars. We currently sell mainly on EBAY as [email protected] |
