If there is one event to attend for autox it’s the Curtis Lee Memorial (CLM) Event in October. Who is Curtis? I knew him as the “Master Chief” of the HI region of SCCA. He drove a blue”Devil Z” with the number 71. I associate that car with him every Read more…
I’ve been told that my analytical mind is a great gift. I’ve also been told by the same people that my analytical mind is also a great curse – I tend to overthink many aspects of my life. DRIVING is no exception. I came upon an article that challenged my Read more…

I’m always excited whenever its race weekend and this day was no different. The last few course setups had a similar feel but this one was much different. It was a nice change and a breath of fresh air for me. I got to start the Junior Karts this time Read more…
