Racing

I grew up around racing and that is pretty much all I know for a sport, every Saturday growing up in the summer I would be at the track with my dad and uncles. Approximately 10 years ago I was looking to get more involved in the sport and decided to pick up a video camera and created a youtube channel for the world to see the type of racing action that takes place at the track. 

It has taken off like wild fire and have developed many skills and quality videos over the years and it also opened the door to work at the local TV station. 


I also have had the opportunity from my dedication of filming the races to being able to get out on the track. I was able to achieve a 2nd place finish my very first time in an official race. Also it has helped me get other opportunities and a lending hand from many people who have been involved in the sport more then I have.  I hope to be able to share my passion of the sport down to my son. I love racing for the sport but also a lot more then just cars going around in circles. Its the atmosphere, the people you meet who end up being friends for life who share the passion of something.
