Our relationships with these tracks allow us to facilitate “HPDE” open track days. Whether you’re a club guy, a driving school representative, a race team, or an individual with the urge, we would be happy to help coordinate track access!

Bookeeping
Gary is Stevens-Miller Racing’s spiritual leader. Just look at the fierce concentration in his picture.
He considers himself very fortunate to hang with this group of passionate, hard working, and successful gearheads. It isn’t really known what Gary would do with spare time, because he is insatiably driven to learn and to contribute. There is no such thing as spare time.
