I’ve been wanting to do a Lemons race for a long time and thanks to a late night alcohol induced conversation with a fellow one-laper we ended up with a Lemons team that contained members of 3 one lap teams! We took a Miata that hadn’t been used since 2008 but it somehow ran flawlessly…

This year was hard…really really hard. So hard that after race #2 of the final weekend at Heartland I kind of felt done… I wished I had listened to my gut and followed this instinct because on green flag of race #3 an overanxious and inexperienced driver decided to be overaggressive and send me straight…

Another one lap in the books! This one had some real highlights as I got my first top 10 finish on the wet skidpad and my best track event finish of 15th at Hallet! Luckily no breakdowns this year as the car performed flawlessly. The drive from Hallet to Topeka was the sketchiest I’ve ever…

My second “season” in GLTC and probably the last one of driving the car to the track!

This was a tough year but we made it…and made the longest transit on a One Lap for me from Dallas to Atlanta after breaking down at Eagles Canyon. Always an adventure and it’s amazing to have good friends like Mark and Howard to come save the day!

I was scrolling through one of my social media feeds one day and saw a rallycross buddy was looking for additional drivers for the upcoming Champcar 8-hour enduro at Harris Hill Raceway in San Marcos Texas.

I had been tempted to join since you technically don’t need anything but a valid drivers’ license but always felt…

“You brought a knife to a gunfight” – is what the rookie coach told me after my first Wheel-to-wheel race. “You are officially a Gridlife Touring Cup Driver, you passed!” is what he said before that.

Almost a week later, I’m still buzzing from how exciting the entire weekend was, it almost felt like a dream…

After my Marfa by Motorcycle : 2019 into 2020 (and preparation for the journey beyond) adventure,  I was sitting at home on a weeknight, feeling a little complacent and too “normal” when I made an expensive but gratifying decision that I will never regret.
