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.

Finally getting a podium

Managed to get 2nd in the RWD class at this sprint race. It might sound trivial to some people, but I'd been chasing a podium at this thing for a bit now. There's such an incredible high from knowing that you were able to actually compete and be fast - and with how fast everyone here was, it feels even better. Now to figure out moving on to bigger stages.

Sprint Racing

Participating in a sprint race at Dirtfish. Was actually happy with my performance on this one!

Co-drivers are amazing

Rally is a unique sport where you generally have a co-driver who handles calling out pace notes (among other things). Really helpful when fatigue starts setting in!

Showcasing the area

This photo is great not just for the slide - which is certainly fun - but for the sheer expanse of the mountains in the background there. Racing around Dirtfish is an incredible experience since it's nestled in sheer natural beauty.

Flowing hairpin

One of my favorite turns on the courses that Dirtfish tends to build. It's a long hairpin where you want to modulate the throttle to carry through.

Spray

No real great title for this shot. It's a good one though - the photographers at Dirtfish are incredible at what they do.

Running laps

This shot is deceptive, since there's a long run to the right - but seeing the car in front of you at any point does get you a bit amped.

Driving by the old hanger (3)

Hands down one of the coolest properties to race a car around. Even more sideways in this one.

One of my favorite photos

This one has it all: energy, weight transfer, sliding, spray and steam... and setting up for the corner decently well.
