Perfect ending of this day !





























The team told me that if I want to I can drive the whole race !!! I really appreciate that opportunity and it even ended up with I drove both the Trophy Dash and the Heat Race ! I started last in both of them but was able to pass some cars ! But the main race went also very well, I did my own race and just collect experience and laps ! I drove faster and faster and had so much fun ! We ended the race by finish 8 and had no scratch on the car, which was the goal for us. And Tony Hunt won the whole race ! It was a great day for Tony Hunt Motorsport and I want to Thank the whole team for this day and the opportunity !

We had perfect weather, good food, surrounded by great people and good results = Perfect Day :)

So much fun !














I've now drove couple of sessions and first of all - I've so much fun !! I start to get more and more comfortable very time I go out there and I was 0,6 sec off from the pole but we've some really old tires which are about 0,5 sec off. Consider that it goes very well !!

Time to drive !





























The other USAC Sprint cars drivers have all ready done their first practice and Tony was very pleased how it went ! I stood in the pit to see and learn ! But now I'll jump in and do my first couple of laps !!

Dubble Work Out !

I watched a documentary about Mike Tyson when he was in his prime and felt super inspired to work out. Because of my cold I've not been able to work out for awhile which made everything much harder ! After the work out my friend Dave called me and asked if I wanted to ride motocross with him ! It was tons of fun and we rode for almost four hours. Ride a motocross on a track it's a great work out. The day after I felt every muscle in my body from the gym and the motocross ride !! But it's totaly worth it !

NASCAR West Race

I got invited to the NASCAR K&N Pro race in northern California last weekend ! This race is the racing season opener on the west coast. Which means the off season is finally over !! It was great to be back on the track again and meet some old friends !

750 hp of fun !

I got a phone call yesterday night from my friend Tony Hunt who asked me if I wanted to do couple of laps in one of his 750 hp Sprint Car !! It's not a brainer - Of course ! And the cool thing was that we were the show opener for the premier race of the biggest NASCAR West Series ! We did some cool passes, went sideways plus it ended up we did couple of laps without mufflers - Everything for the fans :)
