Southern Ohio Forest Rally, Day 1
The beginning of a crazy rally. We went through probably every scenario imaginable, from stage emergencies to unfortunate penalties to crazy improved times and more. It wound up being a sad event at the end due to our crash out - right after we took the lead in L2WD National! Much to learn and take away… I will crack this stupid nut one way or another.
Vacation for a dumbass
Getting to bring my little buddy on trips is always fun, even if all he does is eat and sleep. At least he knows not to bark in the hotel though.
Entering a Legendary Track
Managed to fit in a trip here for Formula 1 Qualifying. Wish I could drive this some day - but for now taking in some great racing is more than enough. Was grinning like an idiot the entire time we were here.
First National Rally (3)
Competed in the L2WD class of the 2025 Rally in the Hundred Acre Wood. Placed decently well but still a lot of work to do. Having a great co-driver for the event made such a difference. River City Rally build great cars. Photo courtesy of David Cosseboom. Can't wait for the next event!

Ice Driving (x2)
Another shot from the final day of the event. I'm always amazed at the spots the photographers are willing to put themselves in, because their ability to get shots like these are a fantastic part of the event. All credit to them for this one - I'm just showing it off since I was driving!
Ice Driving
Traveled to northern Wisconsin for the chance to get some experience with performance driving on snow and ice. One of the coolest experiences I've done. Photo is courtesy of the event photographers - they do amazing work!
SCCA Competition Licensing exam (2)
After exiting turn 3 or 4.
SCCA Competition Licensing exam
Doing this during the pandemic years was unfortunately a bit cumbersome, as having to have some kind of mask on in the car made the learning experience a bit stilted. That said, Proformance Racing School at Pacific Raceways has some incredible instructors and talented drivers. Between here and Dirtfish, the PNW is spoiled for chances to get good at this stuff. Learning here is also frankly incredible due to the rain in the PNW... you kind of can't avoid having to be decent in the wet. This was (IIRC) turn 3 or 4 on the course.
