Started karting at the age of 8 with my grandfather. learned the hard way how dangerous racing is by breaking my jaw in 4 places the first year in a karing accident.. HAVENT LEFT THE TRACK SINCE!!!

Raced karts till the age of 18, winning the Dunlop Tire National road race series for shifter karts in 06. now racing stock cars in florida. and tracking my S on the weekends for fun.

Wish I had more money to get back into competative road racing, but need sponsors for that.

I did quite a few point to point runs on a back road that had some good turns and a bit of elevation change in an rx8 before I was told about autocross in a city 40mins from where I lived. Did that for about 3 years (held once a month) in which the third year I was in the S2000 at that point. I did win In BSP class in '07 and '08. I also participated in two PCA events at a location that can no longer host them (old air base now being put the use). When I moved to Austin I didn't get back on track for another year or so before attending my first NASA event at MSR Cresson. I then became somewhat of a regular at a private course that's 10 mins from my condo before I started going through some time set backs with the S.

To add to all that, I have been playing Forza and Gran Turismo on a fanatec wheel for the last 4 years. I did grow up playing Gran Turismo but with no wheel. I play almost everyday, and if I miss a few days I usually play for a while when I do play. It's so addicting, and it's literally a genuine tool for anyone who loves/attends track days. I highly recommend using a force feedback wheel like from Fanatec or logitech.
