Road America is one of my favorite tracks. In July, I drove it again for an SCCA racing event, getting two poles and two first-place wins.
Here is a video from one of my fast laps. At this raceway, wide open corner exits are tempting to use, but the curbing is very rough so precision is rewarded with speed. Watch me drive this track in my Type R Swapped Civic Coupe--and also see how I keep control of acceleration and braking via the floor camera.
It's easy to see what's happening outside of a race car--but do you ever wonder what's happening on the inside?
A lot of you have been asking about my new WedsSport #TC105X wheels. In this video, I explain how these wheels do two things: (1) make my car look good and (2) make me faster on track.
You would think that waiting 30-minutes for your fast food order to get filled is a bad thing--but this event led to a serendipitous turn of events.
Fast laps require more than just putting the pedal to the metal. You have to also be smooth, quick, and precise--all while adapting to the surrounding cars as well as any changing weather conditions. It's not easy, but I love the challenge of it. See what it looks like--from inside the car--as I make a lap around Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course at a #GRIDLIFE Time Attack event.
Creating this video was fun. Hang on and ride along with my Civic Type R engine swap as we make a hot lap around Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course at a #GRIDLIFE Time Attack event. Camera is on the roof of the car, so you can "feel" the speed and the wind whipping you in the face the entire time.Hang on and ride along with my Civic Type R engine swap as we make a hot lap around Mid-Ohio.

Did you know the first automated cars started appearing in the 1920s? We've come quite a way since then, but we still have a long road ahead.
Here's a time lapse of a fun presentation my wife and I gave on autonomous vehicles to the Columbus Chapter of Web Analytics Wednesday. To see the full recap, read the Future of Driving Recap on the Cbus WAW blog.
In April of 2019, I participated in my first #GRIDLIFE event thanks to my sponsor, Acuity Instruments. My Honda Civic K20c1 is mainly an SCCA race car, but for the #GRIDLIFE events, I change the set-up so I can run in Time Attack. We are taking part in #GRIDLIFE this year because we wanted to check out the series and learn more about it--it's wild and fun. Watch the video to get a fast, front-seat view of the Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course.
