We are extremely fortunate to have someone of Jeffs caliber joining us in this key position, says George Ayres, president and chief operating officer of the Skip Barber Racing School. Jeff brings with him a wealth of experience we can draw upon that hes gained over a lifetime on two wheels.
Haney was a lead instructor at Freddie Spencers High Performance Riding School at the Las Vegas Motor Speedway and Miller Motorsports Park from 1998 until 2007. Haney originated a segment of the schools curriculum and was involved in its continued development.
Haneys career started in 1974 on the dirt ovals of California as a teenage protégé of the legendary Kenny Roberts. Soon after, Haney was signed by Honda and teamed with Freddie Spencer as a factory dirt track racer. As a team, they finished one-two on several occasions.
With a move to road racing in 1984, Haney earned a number of top finishes in AMA and international races including third place in the 1985 Daytona 200. After retiring at the end of the 1986 season, Haney teamed up with Kevin Schwantz as an instructor, and thus added Bubba Shobert and Scott Russell to his roster of clients.
Haney has contributed to a number of prominent motorcycle magazines over the years, including riding in several motorcycle shoot-out features. Most recently Haney test rode for Michelin prior to the 2008 MotoGP at Indianapolis.
