About The Driver

Donald Freet JR. got the name Lankee Yankee when I first moved to the south to pursue his motorcycle drag racing passion. Two guys at the track said to each other “Who is that lankee guy” (being 6’ 7 at 175) the other guy said “Oh some Yankee”. The name stuck and most at the track don’t know me as Donald but rather Lankee or Yankee.
