All About Raul

How long have you been racing?
Since I was 11

How did you get into Jr Dragster? 
My mother raced imports when she was younger and I have been around race cars since I was born.  I love it.

What is your favorite thing about racing?
Hanging out with my friends and winning

What is your favorite track to race on?
Palm Beach International

What is one word that describes you best?
Happy

What sets you apart from other racers?
I am always complimented on my sportsmanship and ability to continue smiling and being happy even when I don't win.



What are some of your racing accomplishments? 
My racing has been challenging as this was new for my mom.  I did well the first year with 3 trophies from local races and 2 wins at my track.  The first year in the 7.90 advanced class was challenging but we managed to stay top 5 in points every year.  We have won some points races.  This year we are in a better position because my step-dad knows a lot about race cars and has been able to get my car consistent and doing well.  We expect a great year and many appearances.

What are your goals for this season?  
I want to win ECF!

What other activities do you enjoy outside of racing?
I'm a soccer fan. I played soccer as my main sport until I made the choice to dedicate myself to racing because I want to be a professional.  I still play and watch soccer often.  I Pokemon Go hunt with my mom and stepdad. It became a family thing. I also play basketball and online games with local friends.
