Racing is in the Ryan Family Blood and is very much a family sport. Jake has been involved in racing for years supporting his father Dan Ryan who has been involved in racing since 1991. Jake was the official “Tire Boy” although he was not old enough to get in the pits. Dad could always bet Jake was in the stands and knew what was happening with the car. In 1999 Jake “The Snake” started his career racing his Dad’s old sportsmen car.
