About Terry

Terry Coates began racing in the U.S. Pro Rally series in 1986, then turned to road racing in the SCCA's Showroom Stock series shortly thereafter. He raced full-time through 1997. Terry's racing archive chronicles those early years.

While always a "car guy", Terry also writes, designs and implements websites (like this one, among others), creates automation tools for projects he is associated with, and is always ready to lend a hand with project materials whether PowerPoint, audio, video or something else.  In the past, Terry was a programmer, an on-air radio personality, a volunteer firefighter, and a sound engineer for a local band.

But it was that "car guy" thing that ultimately won out.

Terry has worked in the automotive space since the 80's, but by 2002 he became fully devoted to the automotive industry.  He has brought his expertise to bear in nearly 1,000 training sessions on behalf of numerous manufacturers.
