Nursing coffee from a vending machine
I try to avoid this city nowadays but a long time friend was getting married here so we made the trek. The wedding (and the after party!) were worth it.
Happy Halloween
Cheating a bit on the photo timeline but love the holiday and forgot I took this photo during LSPR earlier this month.
vGranz Shakedown
Finally got the chance to put the vGranz I bought through a shakedown session! My buddy Brandon (second from left) was awesome enough to handle the initial sessions before I could get back to Japan to try it myself, so being able to run back to back sessions with him at Fuji was great since we had a pretty good base of notes to work with. Maeda-san and his team at ELEV Racing are awesome to work with and they were on it with suspension adjustments and tweaks for us to try while hunting time. Can’t wait to get back and run this on other tracks!
Menge Creek
This was taken in a super fun twisty section of a fast and flowing stage. Check out the video clip for a better look!
Thanks to Crystina Coats for co-driving the event, River City Rally for the car, and to MeLe Media for the photo.

Every Color of Autumn
I think this might have been on Al's Playground, but I'm not entirely sure. Love the shot though. Thanks to Crystina Coats for co-driving the event, River City Rally for the car, and to MeLe Media for the photo.

Top-Down Perspective
Not an angle I find in most shots people get of us, makes for a killer photo gallery cover. Thanks to Bauer Motorsports Photography for the photo!
Stage 1, I think...
Late addition to the gallery but pretty sure this was actually first stage. Very chewed up and tricky few miles, but the back half was very fun regardless with everything to contend with. Thanks to Happy Bubbles Images for the photo!
Drift-ish
One very cool part of this particular race was having Ryan Tuerck - of Formula Drift fame - racing in the same class and car type as me. Needless to say he put down incredible times; it was super beneficial though as he was more than happy to share tips and pointers on how to move these cars around turns. Fairly certain my driving improved as a result.

Yet another 2nd place - but this time it's both for our race (class) and for championship (class). Congrats to Henry Tabor and Dylan Hooker on winning the Limited 2W Drive Championship - amazing competitors!
