Jolly Roger Racing

Bill Hayes and I decided sometime in 2008 to go racing in 2009. In June of '09 we had our first race with WERA.

Travis Richards, Bill Hayes, Ian Coleman, and Garry Owen, joined together to form Jolly Roger Endurance to contest the 2011 WERA National Endurance Series. JRE, owned by Travis, was a spin-off of the original Jolly Roger Racing Team of Bill and Garry.
