- Reg came onto the Auto Racing scene in the mid-fifties, just after Western Speedway opened it’s doors in 1954.
- He has done just about everything a person could do at a racetrack, except the obvious thing — he has never driven a race car in the thirty-plus years he has been involved.
- Reg has been a car owner, track official, club executive member and finally, a race track promoter.
- In 1961, Reg served his first term as President of the Vancouver Island Track Racing Association (V.I.T.R.A.)
- Reg was also the President of the Canadian-American Modified Racing Association (C.A.M.R.A.) in the early sixties. This was the circuit that started Victoria’s Billy Foster on the road to the Indianapolis 500.
- In late 1966, Reg became the promoter of Victoria’s Western Speedway. This position he held for a number of years.
- Over the years, he brought in “name” drivers to compete at the bigger races at Western. Such names as Bobby Allison, Roger Ward, Janet Guthrie and a host of other well-known International stars have competed in Victoria.
- In 1970, Reg was instrumental in developing and promoting a Northwest racing series called the International Drivers Challenge. There were two divisions-Super Stocks and Super Modifieds.
- As well as being the promoter, Reg spent quite a bit of his time behind the microphone at the Speedway. He was the track announcer for many seasons and was very good at this job.
- He headed up the International Pro Stock series in the late 1970’s.
- Reg has also served as President of the Western Auto Racing Promoters Association.
- In 1983, Reg received the Victoria Sportsman of the Year Award.
