WHO ARE YOUR HEROES? WHO DO YOU LOOK UP TO?

Yes, racing with friends. It’s always hard as you want to beat your friends, but you also want to see them do good.

My most recent race was the Clash of Champions in January. I was able to get fourth in four-wheel, 11th in two-wheel drive, and sixth in stadium truck.
