BUZZ CRIPE PAGE
Hi everyone I'm Buzz Cripe, One of the newest members of the IMCA Oldtimers. Alot of you have asked if I have ever raced before so I figured I'd better give you a little history and put you at ease. Yes, I have been around the track a couple of times before. I'm an 18 year racing veteran. Ive got a couple championships Ive flagged at 6 different race tracks I also own and operate BMJ Motorsports out of Rice MN. My wife and I also operated our son's 4 car 360 sprint car team for 8 years so I guess you could say ive been involved in all aspects of racing. I'm really happy to be a new member & looking forward to racing with all of you.
