I had just turned four and I was at my first Champ Car race. It was so Exciting, the roar of the engines, the smell of burned rubber, I loved it. I talked to some of the drivers, and they saw how excited I was. So they told me I should get a go-kart.
Five months later I was doing something that would change my life forever, I was tearing up the track in my brand new go-kart, and the minute I got in it there was no getting me out of it.
Years have gone by. I've won and lost championship. I've won lots of prizes (including an all paid trip to Italy representing the US). I love what I do, and that's why I do it!!!!!!
