Jones Racing was started in 1992. Sandy, an aircraft mechanic for American Airlines, had always been very interested in Motorcycles but felt he needed to be on the strip an not the street. He just couldn't seem to ride slow. So he sold his street bike and began building his first drag bike, a 1974 KZ900. The first bike was a little rough. Sandy knew what he wanted but just wasn't sure how to get there. He received a lot of help and suggestions from people at the track and with that and his own knowledge built a good running ET bike.
Not long after his wife, Donna, decided that she wanted to do more that be just a pit crew and a bike was bought for her. Her bike was a Yamaha SR500. Even though Sandy was a Kawasaki Man at heart he thought it would be the better bike for Donna because of the size. She raced it for a little while but then made the mistake of allowing their son, Nick to make some passes. He did so well she reliquished her ride to him.
Nick was only 13 when he started to race. Even though he is only 20 now he is a very seasoned rider. He has made several steps up on different bikes and has become a very competitive racer. His Dad always jokes and says " I raised my own hired gun".
