Profile
 AT 53 THE ONLY GOALS HE HAS LEFT IS TO KEEP RIDING FOR AS LONG AS HE CAN WITHOUT GETTING INJURED AND TO SUPPORT THE CSRA PROMOTING SPEEDWAY IN CANADA.
TOM IS A PURE GENTLEMAN OF CANADIAN SPEEDWAY. HE IS ALWAYS THERE WITH SUPPORT TO EVERY RIDER FROM THE NOVICE TO THE EXPERIENCED. HE CAN BE SEEN ASSITING OTHER RIDERS THROUGH REPAIRING THEIR BIKES THROUGHOUT MEETINGS TO LENDING HIS OWN TO KEEP THE NIGHT MOVING. TOM CONTINUES TO GIVE GREAT ADVICE AND ASSITANCE TO THE CSRA FOR THE FUTURE OF THIS GREAT SPORT. "TIGER" TOM IS ONE OF THE NICEST GUYS IN THE CANADIAN SPEEDWAY SCENE!
