The Geezer Gears Racing Team is basically a couple of old guys who have a lot of fun at the track. We are not the fastest on the track, or have the most bad-ass rig & trailer, nor do we have a lot of sponsors helping us out on weekends. We really enjoy hanging out with folks that enjoy life like we do, which is pretty much everyone that we've met at the track!
We have families and day jobs and are really just out racing on the weekends so we don't have to spend time at home doing "honey-do's". At our age, both of us having raised 2 kids and releasing them onto the world, we deserve a little bit if 'me time' - especially since we're married to twin sisters!
We have day jobs that keep us busy too, I'm sure just like all of you do too. I'm the only non-medical person when the 2 families get together, but I have a great appreciation for what they do. Now I get to brag a little bit about our team rider, Roger. Last weekend Roger and a team from his hospital took a 300+ mile round trip in a snowstorm and up over the mountains to save not one but two preemie babies.
Here's a link to the story from the Colorado Springs Gazette:

Racing is just a small part of who we are and what we do. We risk crashes and injuries at the track doing what we love, but let's not forget those who put it on the line everyday as just another day at the office - the medical professionals, fire professionals, police officers and the military folks too.
