The 2026 Race Season … So Far!
I’ve been a bit quiet lately, and I wanted to pop in and catch up. I suffered a pretty significant injury four weeks before the season opener at Nashville Superspeedway. This led me on an engineering journey to set up…
Racing
Race reports, driver development, and racecraft drawn from real competition. Wheel-to-wheel racing, drifting, karting, and track events, along with the lessons learned along the way. If it helps you become a faster, smarter driver on a racetrack, it lives here.
Racing the Storm: Ironman Round 1 at Music City Kartplex
The older I get, the more everyone around me seems determined to act their age. I’ve never found that especially interesting. And at this point, you could say I’m something of a connoisseur of what these home bodies view as…
Ironman Racing at Music City Kartplex
The summer break has been exceedingly long this year. I skipped the championship because I wouldn’t have a competitive package ready in time, and another event, the first annual Flatrock race, fell through. What is usually a one-month summer hiatus…
Barber Motorsports in the Thunder Roadster with NASA Mid South
The Barber Motorsports event with NASA Mid South is my first outing to this world-class facility in 2025. I keep asking myself how I let that happen. I live so close, yet I find myself driving there so little. Something…
Chasing My Ghost at NOLA Motorsports Park
There’s something surreal about racing against your past self, especially when the ghost you’re chasing isn’t just a lap time, but a version of you that was younger, rougher around the edges, and driving a car that still had something…
‘Who Let the Dawgs Out!’ Lucky Dog Racing League at AMP
My first outing with Lucky Dog Racing League also happened to be my first time on track at Atlanta Motorsports Park. Add to that a freshly rebuilt 1.6L Miata making its endurance debut, and you’ve got a recipe for chaos.…
Hell Week at Ozarks International Raceway
Ozarks International Raceway isn’t your ordinary racetrack. It is 3.97 miles of relentless elevation changes, blind apexes, and high-speed off-camber turns—usually all at once. And it just so happens to host the September 2025 944 Spec National Championship. Which means…
Hardly Racing: Safety and Weather Issues at NCM
They say a bad day at the racetrack is better than a good day at the office… That may be true, but, is a bad weekend at the track better than a relaxing weekend at home? Probably not. And that…
Endurance Karting at Atlanta Motorsports Park
Did you know endurance karting is a thing? I didn’t until I saw an Instagram ad advertising the 7-hour ‘Lucky Lap Enduro’ at the Atlanta Motorsports Park Kart Track. Although I have done plenty of endurance races in racecars, when…
Kicking Off the 944 Spec Season at Nashville Superspeedway
How does a season opener full of rain, snow, freezing temperatures, tornado warnings, and car trouble sound? It’s pretty intense and probably a bit much for most. And not the slightest bit unexpected for an event coined, ‘Summer in February.’
Rebooting 944 Spec at Barber Motorsports Park
Over two years have passed since my last race in 944 Spec. While I moved on for numerous reasons, the primary catalyst was the shrinking field. More often than not, I would find myself in fields of one or two…
Exceeding the Limit at the National Corvette Museum
Driving at the limit is an art. If you truly understand that, you can drive anything fast. There is a feel to driving a racecar fast that, for some, is innate and, for others, a hard-fought journey to discover. I…
