JLR Racing started out as a hobby. Jerry started out racing motorcycles back in 1994. He wanted a hobby his whole family would enjoy and when his wife Michelle expressed interest in the VW scene it was time to get rid of the bikes and move on to something else. In 1997 Jerry purchased a 1974 Beetle. Originally it was supposed to be his wife’s car but being a drag racer at heart, curiosity got the best of him. So in 1997 Jerry purchased a Beetle to drag race with. He started out racing local events at the local track then progressed into what we have today. He started as a grass roots hobbyist then manifested into JLR Racing and owning and operating (several cars later!) the “Fastest Street Legal VW on the East Coast“.

Jerry is a family man and together with his wife has a teenage daughter who is also a huge fan of the VW hobby. He has owned and operated his own Roofing business (Jerry Lewis Roofing, Inc.) since 1995 and has progressed from $60K in total annual sales in 1996 to over $1 Million in total annual sales today. He is a hard worker and with the support of his family WILL NOT ever give up. He has great vision and dedication towards anything he sets his mind to. His Race Team is a young, knowledgable group of guys who are very motivated.
