Laura Urquhart, Ron's wife. Laura's crew duties used to include writing
down elapse times etc. She also would cook the food (if any) that we all
consume at a race. But Laura's biggest duty as a Urquhart
Racing crew-member is ... making hotel reservations. And though sometimes
things get screwed, we always have a place to lay our heads.

Taysha Urquhart, Ron's daughter. ...Well I haven't done much as a Urquhart
Racing crew-member at the track, but behind the scenes I'm on a roll. I
taught Ron how to make his own Urquhart Racing t-shirts and I am the webmaster
of this web-site.

Sterling Simmons Jr., Partner-In-Crime. Sterling and Ronald have been
friends for a long time, and racers even longer than that. Together they
form Urquhart & Simmons Racing, which what the other ususally
registers their cars as at races. Sterling and his family reside in Virginia,
but don't let that stop them from talking. Just ask Laura and Sterling's
wife, Cynthia what the phone bills are like at their repsective homes.

Cynthia Simmons, a racer's wife. Cynthia is Sterling's wife and Chandler
and Sterling III's mommy. Cynthia doesn't come to as many races as she
used to but when she does she and Laura usually gossip about other racers.

Christopher J. Epps, Crew Chief? Chris has been accompanying us to races
for awhile now. He and Ronald used to work together. Ronald saw it as his
duty to turn Chris away from the dark side (bracket racing a.k.a roof
racing) and onto the good side of stock eliminator. Because of Chris'
latest job he can not accompany Ron to as many races as he would like,
but his ultimate goal is to one day have a racecar of his own.

Tara Epps, Chris' wife. Where did Chris and Tara meet? At the racetrack
of course. Tara used to go to races with Chris and everyone else, but as
of late she ususally goes with her father who is also a racer.

Jimmy Carter, Tara's father and Chris' father-in-law. It's a family
affair. Jimmy Carter has been following the NHRA racing circuit for
quite awhile, but just recently purchased his own racecar. He and Ronald
have been friends since before I was born.

James Urquhart, Ronald's youngest brother. James (Jimmy) has been racing
for almost 3 years now. And though his wife, three small children and job
as a lawyer prevent him from racing as frequently as his big bro he tries
to make it to as many races whenever it is humanly possible.

Michael "Devil Boy" Allen. Michael was given the nickname
Devil Boy, by the Urquhart crew because of his horrible treatment
of poor Taysha. Michael changes cars more than most people change shirts.
And to show exactly to what lengths racers will go to attend a race, there
were no racers at Micheal's recent wedding. Why? The wedding was the same
day as the Englishtown points meet, thus no racers attended.

Sherwood Allen, Micheal's father, and in my opinion the absolute brains
behind the Allen Team. Sherwood takes care of the many, many cars that
Micheal has driven over the years and Sherwood is always nice to
Taysha.

Dick Atkins. Dick is just a another racer in the long line of Jersey
racers that know Ronald. Dick, who is from South Jersey, has a beautiful
blue mustang and travels with his crew to just as many and often more races
than Ronald.
