How long have you been racing? I am going into my 6 year

When does your season typically start and end? Starts at the beginning of January and ends midway through November

How many races do you participate in one calendar year? We have around 15 to 20 aside from testing sessions 

How often do you practice/train? Once or twice a month

Why do you race? I race for the pure love of not only the speed but the feeling and atmosphere around the race track between races with other drivers as well as the face that it was a great family sport for us. 

What is your favorite racing memory and why? My favorite racing memory would be my second year of racing, my first ever national event. We qualified last but to us that meant nothing. We went on to win 4 rounds of racing and even took out top qualifier in round 2, but sadly lost in the final. We went on to finish 7th in the national series and I have never been out of the top ten since. 

What do you want to be when you grow up? I would love to move from Australia to America and race pro in top fuel funny car or at least work one with a top team. 

If you were a racing coach, what would you tell your driver? I try to coach my sister as she is in her first year, but the thing I tell her most is "focus on your lights, dad has the file in set just do your job and you can win."

If you could have a racing superpower, what would it be? Perfect lights every time, that's all I want.
