True Drag Racing Excellence!
JEFF TAYLOR
A native of Lumberton, North Carolina, now residing in Sellersburg, Indiana. Jeff began his professional drag racing career in 1973, when he was on 13 years old and won the Gator Nationals in 1978, when he was 18 years old. With Fayetteville being the track he most frequented and Pomona being his favorite, Jeff currently has won 42 National N.H.R.A. events, 8 N.H.R.A. Divisional Championships and 4 N.H.R.A. World Championships.Jeff tributes his start in drag racing to his Mom and Dad, who both raced and started taking Jeff to the racetrack at the early age of 6, his influences were not only his parents, but his brothers Charlie and Bob who both are highly respected engine builders. Willi
e Evans, Jeff's most significant crew member, has been at Jeff's side for more than 30 years and is a very valued and loyal friend. One of Jeff's most memorable days in racing occurred in 2001 when he won both the Super Stock and Comp Eliminator classes at a National Event on the same day in Memphis, TN.Although Jeff was never big on naming his cars, his most favorite car was his 2005 East Texas Grand Am. We at NCDRHOF, find it both funny and ironic that Jeff lists his biggest rival as Bobby Warren, who is also a member of the North Carolina Drag Racing Hall of Fame.
