Motorsports, travel, and random photos from around the world. Rally driver, car #91 in ARA National L2WD. Life is too short to just sit around and wait.

2nd at Olympus Rally 2026

One hell of an event. Almost 200 miles of racing over three days - and that's not even counting the recce! Being that this is my (current) home race, I found myself wanting to win - or at least podium - more than most other races I've been in. Securing 2nd had me smiling like I don't think I've done in awhile. Congratulations to Mark Tabor and Kathryn Hansen on 1st place, they drove a flawless race as far as I can tell and their experience on these roads shows! Congrats to the Kravets brothers on 3rd, they're seriously speeding up! A big thanks to Glen Ray for co-driving for me this event; his prior experience in running and winning the L2WD championship in 2025 shows and was an undeniable factor in managing the 3 day slog. Big shoutouts to the crew at River City Rally for building a tank of a car, and for the insane efforts they put in all week long to keep us racing with a capable car. Finally, thanks to the sponsors and friends who came along for the ride: 425 Motorsports, Fuji Select, and FoxCove IT Services! Thanks to MeLe Media for the shot!

Olympus Rally 2026, Day 3

We had managed to secure a comfortable gap in 2nd place from anyone behind us, and Olympus is notorious on the DNF ("did-not-finish") factor - so we opted to bring it home rather than push anything crazy. Incredibly fun stages! Thanks to MeLe Media for the shot!

Olympus Rally 2026, Day 1

Started off with the bulk of our first day racing at night - with a rather long 18 mile stage! An amazing stage to boot: every few miles it felt like it morphed in to something entirely new that necessitated a different approach. Tons of downhill flow too. Would love to drive again. Thanks to MeLe Media for the shot!
