I am an aspiring race driver who is making the transition from karts to formula cars. I've finished my rookie season
with the Jim Hall Race Series in 100cc sprint karts (80 mph, single speed). In Fall and Spring, I will be contesting in sprints
and 80cc shifters (90 mph, 6 speed) for the championship. To date, I've had okay finishes, but they're fine for my first time
ever racing anything: 4th, 2nd, 3rd, 2nd. Next season I will be looking for a win, which may be difficult since, in the Spring,
I will be racing in either the Skip Barber series or the Jim Russell series in formula cars (145 mph, 5 speed, 2 Gs lateral).
Wish me luck.

I also, as you may (or may not) have guessed, have a passion for the automobile. This site has comparisons (numbers only,
since I can't legally drive yet...the schools are letting me in early though) of the Evo 8 and WRX STi, as well as information
on the Saleen S7, FerrARI Enzo, and Koenigsegg CCR. For my first car, I am trying to decide between an RX-8 and
an STi. They are in totally separate classes, yet both can outrun Beau's Eclipse GSX and Jono's RSX Type-S.
I've got a growing collection of 1/18 model cars, pictures of which I'll be posting in the near future. There will also
be pictures of my (and my friends') nitro R/C cars. Mine are the 52 mph XTM Mammoth truck, the 60+ mph Yokomo GT4 touring
car, and the Tamiya F201 F1 car (electric).
Come August, an entire page will be dedicated to the formula car schools & the corresponding races. I also may include
videos of these cars and the R/C cars.
