What a stressful intense race in a field deep with talent - more than 17 national championship titles in this field, lots of pro drivers, and MANY new young talented kids direct from karting hoping to secure pro drives.

After a shortened qualifying and getting taken out in Race 1, I had a terrible starting position of 25th, in the middle of the KILL ZONE. Was not sure how to proceed? Drive to Survive, or put my head down and just go for it. Once I got through T5 I was all business and I drove my way from 25th to 5th, then got punted off back to 13th, and then drove my way back to finish 4th on track.

However there were drivers deemed to have jumped the start and they got penalized with 5 positions, and I ended up with 2nd place overall, a bonus I never expected, and most definitely did not want to get after the race. But I will take it!

On the motor racing front I compete in SCCA and NASA events around the USA. I race both Spec Miata (SM) and Super Touring Lite (STL) cars. My cars are prepared by OPM Autosports in Atlanta, my SM is powered by Rossini Racing Engines, my STL is powered by Nelson Racing Engines, and both cars are stopped courtesy G-Loc Brake Pads, with contingency support from Hoosier Racing Tire, Toyo Tires and Mazda Motorsports.

On the motorcycle front, I race Hare Scrambles and Dessert Off-Road Races, and do a bunch of long, multi-day trips on adventure bikes around the world.
