Immediately
following the completion of the film , Cameron knew it was time to go racing,
So he bought his first Jr, Dragster and a lifelong dream came true.
Right out of the gates Cameron knew racing was it. By 2001 he had
recorded his first win and collected a coveted "Wally," when he won the NHRA
50th Anniversary Race at Pomona Raceway. A few weeks later he traveled to
Denver for the NHRA Jr, Dragster National Championships, where he finished
runner up to teamate Patrick Welch , earning team Famoso Raceway the
National Team Championship.
But it was 2002 when things really took off, Cameron won a Division 7 race,
a track championship, had several race wins and one-upped his runner up at
Nationals and won the 2002 NHRA Jr. Dragster National Championships in
Denver, putting a storybook ending to an already illustrious amateur career.
In 2003, it was time for the big leagues! Cameron announced his move to
the most challenging class; Super Comp Dragster. There he split driving
duties with Patrick Welch, but proved along the way he was ready for a car of
his own, Meanwhile Cameron has earned an AA degree on his path to a BA in
Communications, and traveled the US as a clutch mechanic for Miersch
Racing, where he has learned hands on about the intricacies of working on a
dragster but his dream of being behind the wheel of his own dragster had not
faded.
In 2006 Cameron reached his lifetime goal of running his own racing
operation and purchased and new dragster, motors and a transport vehicle,
launching Cameron Ferre Motorsports. After a year of preparation and a new
paint job, with help from his dad, longtime painter and owner of Brico
Industries, he is ready for a full campaign in 2009. Cameron will be racing his
