Did you know Shawn’s…..

If Shawn had to put any other driver in his car it would be Jeff Bousquet. He has seen Jeff do a lot with very little and he knows with good equipment Jeff would do well.

Shawn first began racing in the NAPA Legend Division at Thunder Road in 1991 with the Northeast Kart Club.

Shawn also used to race R/C cars.

The most meaningful career statistic for Shawn is his win column. (Shawn now has 10 wins in Bond Auto Tiger Sportsman competition at Thunder Road)

Shawn enjoys the Tiger Tour because he likes the challenge of new tracks, but his favorite track is still Thunder Road.

Shawn’s advice to somebody thinking about getting into racing is go in with open eyes knowing that you aren’t going to win right off, but if you work hard and drive smart the wins will come.

2010 Plans: Shawn will run both the full season in the Bond Auto Tiger Sportsman at Thunder Road and the full Bond/WIX Tiger Tour, with his sights set on both championships.
