Laguna Seca

Well just got back from Laguna Seca California...It was beautiful out there although it was a little cold. I was working on the Roar Racing RX8's and got word that I was to drive the one we were trying to fix. We worked our tails off to make it get around the track (the car was spun and wrecked at Homestead by some overzealous Acuras...) and we got it ready just in time for the race...we limped around in practice and qualifying to try and get a feel for the car and the track. The motor had too many races on it and since this was more of a test than a race we figured why not. When race time came we did pretty good considering the circumstances...the RX8's handling is incredible! our team car was leading for a while and we just tried to get thru the race clean. That came to an end when one of the Subaru Legacy's tried a dive bomb pass in the last turn...hit me in the door really hard. Hard enough to move his frame rail into his timing cover and destroy his engine. We were fine and just had to pit to fix the hanging trim pieces. We continued on to finish 13th. Not bad for just testing a car with a weak motor and stock diff...I can see how these cars could win (RX8).

I am now off to Lime Rock Park in CT. I barely have enough money to do this and without any sponsors I think this will be my last race. I will continue to market myself and try but this is a real expensive sport. I sold my business to pursue this and now the money has dried up. I may have a few opportunities to drive here and there but there is more to this thing than driving. I want to bring attention to the Trevor Project and make a difference in todays closed minded world.
