Tom Perry began his drag racing career
racing his 1966 Mustang out of high school. His first street bike
was a 1978 Suzuki GS 750 which saw time on the drag strip. The 750
quickly evolved into a true drag bike with the addition of wheelie
bars and earned Perry two NHRA Division 2 Bracket Championships.
In the early 1990's Perry raced a GS1150 in Super Comp. In 1993
he made the jump to the Pro ranks, first in Pro Stock and then in
Pro Mod.
Perry started his Funnybike career
in a partnership with Jay "Hayes" Regan of MRE in 1996. Two years
later Perry and longtime crew chief Rhodney Dobson went on their
own to run the Funnybike. Since that time the team has won three
events in seven final round appearances.
Perry was born and raised in Venice,
Florida. Out of high school he worked for his father in the masonry
business. In 1990 Tom started Perry Concrete. Based in Southwest
Florida Perry Concrete boasts 25 employees and a fleet of 10 trucks.
Tom also recently started Perry Homes, a homebuilding contractor.
