    While I will race anything with wheels (and some things without), my racing generally falls into two categories: arrive-and-drive karting (also called `sport karting') and outdoor karting, in a Rotax.

    Here is a short list of accomplishments not guaranteed to be impressive:

  - 1st place, 2012 Machismo 500
  - 9th place, 2011 United States Indoor Karting Championshio
  - 2nd place, Spring/Summer 2011 ProCup Karting league
  - 3rd place, 2010 12 Hours Of Victory Lane
  - 15th place, 2010 United States Indoor Karting Championship
  - 2010 GSKA Rotax Senior points champion
  - 1st place, Winter 2010 ProCup Karting league
  - 2009 GSKA Rotax Senior points champion
  - 2nd place, Winter 2009 ProCup Karting league

And here is a longer list of all the races I've participated in, listed in reverse chronological order, if you are curious. Note that I tend to do much better in arrive-and-drive events than outdoor events; this is due to the steep learning curve of kart tuning. I haven't omitted any bad results.
