Greg's Toyota 4X4 and Racing Page

This site is dedicated to documenting the current phase of the racing bug planted in me 25 years ago by Gary "Bear" Nickerson, Bill "Pipefitter" Thompson (R.I.P., Bill), Cliff and Sudie Smith, and Kenny Remo of the former Tri-County Ridge Runners and Bear Racing of Paso Robles, CA. These guys may have put the fever in me, but never could get me to cross over to the "J" vehicle they all ran. TOYOTAS FOREVER! Miss you guys! Greg ("Rerun") Past racing rides: 1979 HiLux shortbed 20R 1980 HiLux longbed 20R 1983 HiLux SR5 shortbed 22R 1986 4Runner SR5 22RE (current parts mule)
