Just For Fun

Why do you race?
I enjoy getting to meet new people (racers/spectators/parents/friends) and I like traveling to different tracks. I have met people from so many parts of the country. I also of course love racing & the excitement I get from it.

What is your favorite racing memory and why?
My favorite memory is winning my first ever race at one of our local tracks (South Carolina Motorplex) and winning the IHRA Division 2 Jr. Dragster Championship at Bracket Finals in 2016 which allowed me to go to Memphis, TN to compete in the World Championship.

What do you want to be when you grow up?
I would love to drive professionally of course. My other thoughts are a custom paint & body person or a mechanic specializing in race motors.

If you were a racing coach, what would you tell your driver?
Take your time, relax & concentrate on your lights & surroundings. Most of all, relax & enjoy it though.

Choose a racing superpower!
I think my racing superpower would be to always have a perfect reaction time.

If your dragster could talk, what would it say?
It would calm me down when I get too anxious. It would tell me to calm down, relax, and concentrate.

What would you wish for if a genie gave you 3 wishes?
1) Good health for myself, family & friends 
2) Be an awesome professional race car driver
3)Focus on God always
