Even though it’s been almost 40 years, former sprint car racer Tim Gee remembers the evening of May 13, 1983, as if it was yesterday. “Anyhow, I decided I wanted to be a race car driver and I realized I couldn’t do it from Whitehorse, so I had to travel south. “Out of Edmonton, we used to travel over to Skagit, Wash., to race. “About year three or four we started to catch up a little bit with how to make our cars work better and how to be a little bit better race car driver. I did get to drive a few race cars at the local level and I couldn’t make a living doing that,” Gee noted.
