This is something new for me. I try to give quick updates and perspectives of the off-road racing community. I have been involved and /or around off-road racing since the early 70's when my dad built a pan buggy and began racing in the gravel pits and farm fields around Illinois, Wisconsin, and Indiana.
I first co-drove in 1975 (age 13) at the old Crandon long course. Eventually began driving in 1977 and ended my driving career in 1986. During this time we had some successes with top five finishes and wins along the way. (Class 5 - Baja Bug, Class 9 Chenowth, Class 1-2 Funco Tandem, Class 1 /10 Funco Hustler Air)
Upon graduating from Western Michigan University, I devoted all my time with the family business, a wholesaler of auto parts in the Chicago area.
When ESPN came along, I watched anything I could that involved the off-road world. Then the late 90's I began watching the events again from the stands.
In 2000, created my first website for an off-road team and began writing press releases for the team as well.
MT Graphics handles website creation, updating and press release for over dozen race teams that compete in the short course and desert off-road world. MTG 's offering's now include team/competitor race videos as well.
In 2006, bumpracer.com was created as a portal for MT-Graphics customers and anyone else involved in off-road racing.
In 2008, the family business, Phil's Inc. celebrated 50 years in the automotive community.
Now you know a little about me.
See you at the track.
