HIGHLIGHTS

Born in Surry, PEI, and moved to Saint John, NB at an early age. Bought his first car, at age 16, a ‘56 Ford. Started racing at Penfield, when it first opened. In 1980, he acquired the infamous 1969, 428 Cobra Jet Fairlane convertible. TCar was built by Ed Markel of New Jersey. It was Bill’s pride and joy; he raced it until he sold it in 2015, and he then retired. Bill and his family traveled over 200K from Eastern Canada and the US for Divisional and National events. In 1982, Bill, with much support from several other teachers started the High School Drag racing program in the Maritimes.
