      a new start

      Hello everyone!!


      I have been in the racing world a few years now and I have been lucky enough to have met many of you from both coasts (east and west). Along the way, I have been fortunate enough to both help and learn from a lot of drivers when it comes to cars and techniques. I’m equally grateful for the “Man, you sucked on that run.” feedback as I am the pats on the back. After just over three years of battling it out with the orange cones and in the trenches of this forum, I'm faced with an even greater opportunity to race with many more of you-- I have been offered and accepted a job at ridetech in Jasper, Indiana. This move will allow me to attend Eastern and Central events and I am very excited to meet and race with many more of you as I travel with my ridetech trailer in tow. I’m excited about the move to Indiana and the opportunity to add more event coverage and suspension information for everyone to enjoy and watch. It will be a great 2014!

      Yes I will, I sat with Bret and talked about Bangshift and I will keep Bangshift separate from ridetech, even though Bret says my credibility might go down some because I might appear bias towards ridetech, LOL

      Welcome future Hoosier! Yeah definite climate shock (and quit the culture change!).... not to mention a whole lot cheaper to live. We'll see you at some of the local surrounding events. Motorstate is end of July and power tour is roaming through northern Indiana June 10th/11th.

      Awesome! I live near Chicago but travel around the midwest to car events. I look forward to seeing you around our area more! Welcome and good luck.
      I always tell others to take the high road, that way there's more room for me on the low road

      Nah, ya think? Lol! ;)

      Congrats man, that's awesome. You're on my bucket list of one of the folks I want to meet in person, hopefully we'll meet at an event somewhere. I might be biased towards Speedtech though, so if you can put up with that, I'd like to share lunchtime some time.
