Default 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!

Congratulations - Great Company, Great People! I love Southern Indiana, but I'm a bit biased since I've spent my whole life here. I know a few people that live and have lived in Jasper and really liked it.

I'm not sure if you like German Festivals, but they have a BIG ONE! Mmmmm, German Beer!
