I race because: I love how you can’t perfect the sport. You are constantly learning and trying something new. The competition is always top of the line and relentless. You always have to do your best and be on your game.

I race TAD because: it was a class I always thought would be awesome to run, but never thought the opportunity would come, and when it did I couldn’t pass it up.

If I didn't race I would: I never could imagine a life without drag racing. I would have to be involved in some way. But I would keep busy helping run my father’s business and my own.
