3rd Time’s the Charm

July 7th, 2011 · No Comments · Car Event, Driving, My Cars, Racing, Video

TweetMy second autocross wasn’t exactly the best day out for me, I had a hard time trying to be fast and just didn’t make it happen. June, however, was great to me! I somehow became competitive and was running times up there with people, not at the back of the pack the entire time… I [...]

June 14th, 2011 · 2 Comments · Car Event, Driving, My Cars, Racing, Video
