I have noticed alot of international traffic on my website and blog...Lots of visits from Russia lately. Anyone there want to respond? I am still trying and will always try. I may be shutting down my website soon as it doesn't seem to make sense for me to keep it up if there is no interest in sponsorship. I will put the video on youtube and just get a cheap to maintain webpage. It is with great sadness that I shrink into the backround and get back to work and try and forget the last 5 years of struggling and begging. I do not know what I would have done differently or could ever do in the future to get people interested. There really is just no place for an out race car driver. I pretty much ended my career by trying to do this honestly and openly. I also should have listened to my conservative family and not tried this. It is embarrasing how little financial support has come from all of this. I love my fans and please keep the great emails and words of encouragement coming! I will always try and be my best (and get sponsors) but the GLBT financial world has spoken with no interest in getting someone out there in the straight world with an open message to our youth that you can do anything. I really thought it was an important message but I guess not. We live a stereotype. Sad.
I also just think I failed with my celebrity contacting skills. I tried paying publicists thousands of dollars to just make contact with Lady Gaga, Elton John, John Travolta and anyone else that may have interest in my mission but they all failed or just didnt put in the effort. If anyone knows how to contact a celebrity let me know!
I am getting ready for my first USA Cycling race next month to get a category rating (everyone starts at Cat 5) and begin my amateur bicycle racing journey. I have raced BMX bicycles for years, Mountain bikes and now road bikes. This is a great hobby getting me into the best shape of my life. I will try and blog about my progress even though it is much more boring than blogging about racing cars on the Pro level.
Thanks everyone for being there!

Thank you for just being YOU. Trite, I know, but I only just learned of you by an Internet search this evening! I want to do more research on your NASCAR achievements, but I believe in your message - which, for some reason, is just not out there (sorry, bad pun). I just don't understand the lack of sponsors you mention - I wish I had the answer, but I'd have guessed that majors such as Home Depot, HRC, Chick-fil-A, GLSEN, Jet Blue and more, WOULD be 100% supporters. Something just doesn't wash - if I could, I'd be proud to be one of your NASCAR sponsors.
I wish I knew why they havent come as well! I try my best and try to be the pest person I can and hope for the best! I appreciate the kind words!
