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.
