Driver Profile: Terry Cheetham

Terry Cheetham
  (December 2006)

Terry Cheetham started racing Microds in 1982 at the age of six. He enjoyed 11 years of racing, experiencing tremendous success in various Microd classes as well as Quarter Midgets. Terry and his family often ventured out to other clubs around UpState New York to test themselves against other competitors and other track layouts. Terry's other favorite past time was going to Spencer Speedway and cheering on his heroes in the open wheeled Modified division.

In 1992, the Microds were sold, and a Street Stock (or as we call it "the fender car") was purchased to race at Spencer Speedway. He ran the Street Stock for two years before deciding it was time to raise the bar. A Sportsman car was purchased (later known as Grand American Modifieds, now SST Modifieds) to bring Terry to his favorite form of racing in 1995, "open wheel cars". Terry focused on this class for the next 6 years again enjoying many successes and again testing his skills at other speedways throughout New York State.

In late 2001 Terry made another upgrade and purchased a Troyer Asphalt Modified. So in 2002, Terry was now running with the veterans he once called his heroes. "People expected our rookie season to be a learning year, but our team was in the thick of battle nightly resulting in a top 10 points finish and just missing the Rookie of the Year honors by a very slim margin". Terry continues to call Spencer Speedway his home track while challenging himself with ventures out to Oswego Speedway to compete with the ROC Modified tour teams.

For 2007 Terry is looking forward to raising the bar once again. With the support of Tom Fecteau and Epic Ventures Motorsports Group, Terry will be competing for the SST Modified Championship as the teams #1 driver. Terry will also be competing with his own T&K Motorsports ROC Modified at several events. This year should be like many others, full of competition, a little bit of travel for the added challenge and more racing fun.
