Gary Jeffries racing the Dreyer Racing Suzuki endurance machine at Road Atlanta sometime in the late 1980s. Twenty-five years ago Jeffries worked his way methodically up from WERA novice to expert over several years and eventually briefly raced AMA Supersport before retiring from racing… at least he thought he’d retired. Today Jeffries is back racing a Kawasaki ZX-6R in WERA in the Senior Superbike class. He won some regional races this year and finished fourth at the GNF.
