We are finally done with the 05 season, ending up 4th in the NHRA Sport Compact race series. Didn’t win but overall had a great year of drag racing. Running a best quarter mile of 6.52 at 215 MPH, winning a couple of events and qualifying number one at 4 events.
I received the ‘Rookie of the year’ in the Formula Drift series. What an honor to get voted that by the great people I compete with. It has been a challenge this year learning a new type of driving style in a new series. But with help from the other racers I’ve stepped up quicker than I and most others expected. The thing I like most of the drifting is being able to apply your own style of driving. It lets me be more creative. Instead of always being rated by times and horsepower, you are judged on your ability to drive the car.
For the 2006 season AEM and I have decided to take a year off drag racing. We will be concentrating on the Formula Drift series with me driving the AEM Honda S2000. There are also roomers that we might have a two car team. That is not decided yet.
2007 is not clear right now so nicely let me know what you think as the year goes on.
Thanks to everyone who made 2005 such a great year.
