THEY AREN'T AS FAMOUS as the Andrettis or the Earnhardts or the Unsers. Their name isn't easily trademarked, anyhow. But the Taylors, the first family of the International Motor Sports Association, are the closest thing America has to sports-car-racing royalty. And right now it's young prince Ricky who is bringing them great IMSA glory [fig. 1].
Ricky is the quiet one. He would make an excellent action-movie assassin. His younger brother, Jordan, is loud, a jorts-wearing counterpoint to Ricky, and was recently featured in Sports Illustrated. Ricky is already a championship-winning driver for the Acura factory prototype team. Jordan has been a title-winning pillar in Corvette Racing's factory IMSA GT team. Wayne, their brooding father, can lay claim to passing on the best of his racing genes, while everyone in the family credits Shelley, their dynamic mother, as the source of all the light in the sons. The family business is Wayne Taylor Racing, which campaigns Acuras in IMSA with Ricky as the lead driver.
