| Bio: There's a lot more that could be
said about me, but that's not what this site is about so if you |
 |
| want to know more about me personally you'll
have to go a different route. This bio is all about racing, and |
| I have to admit up front that my entrance into
the world of sports car racing was an evolution. When I was |
| 13 my parents bought me a racing four-wheeler
and, after teaching myself to upgrade and tune motors |
| measured in cubic centimeters as opposed to
liters, I spent a fair amount of time screaming down a dirt |
| track at 70-80 MPH towards five to twenty foot
tall jumps. For my 18th birthday I was given a 1993 |
| Chevy Camaro Z28 special edition and after an
intake and superchip my top speed on the four-wheeler |
| seemed a bit slow and got lost in history.
At that time in my life the only kind of racing I knew about was |
| ego tripping against another car on the highway
- I was missing out on real racing and didn't even know it |
| until the new millennium. After the Camaro
I was thinking about decking out a Chevy S-10 for show and a |
| bit of
racing...at least until I drove Shawn's 1985 300ZX-R, "Marie". Yup,
that did it for me. After about a month of searching the country by
Internet and |
| telephone in the summer of 2001,
Shawn and I loaded up Marie for an 1100 mile trip to Grand Rapids,
Michigan, to buy a 1988 Nissan 300ZX-R SS - one |
| of the most limited production
Nissan cars ever to roll out. The rest was an evolution even more
memorable than my entry into the sports car racing. It |
| seems like only a few months ago
that Shawn and swapped out Amanda's suspension in a parking lot or were in
my parents' barn on a damnably cold |
| winters day replacing Marie's
drivetrain. It might have been a month ago that we drove to Florida to
buy "Samantha only to return in time for Shawn and |
| elim to fly to California to brink
home "Kimiko". Maybe it was last week that we started Team Squid
Racing with a trio of turbo-charged 300ZX's. It might |
| have been yesterday when Kyle showed
up at our garage with "Carissa" and an aftermarket intake he needed help
installing. Then again, those could all be |
| memories along a four year long
journey of friendship, team work, late nights in the garage and
adrenaline-filled evenings at the race track. Today, well, it's |
| rather difficult to describe just
how cool it feels to have been a part of a grassroots racing team like this
one. You can bet your car's title, however, that I |
| wouldn't trade it for anything this
world has to offer. |
