Just revisiting and bumping this thread along, must be more racers out there.....

Vinman, for me you easily win 'the coolest race machine'

You have no idea how seeing a boat like yours inspired me when as a kid I watched the Miami-Nassau offshore boats race past Potters Cay dock every summer.

I never achieved my working for an offshore powerboat race team dream (a couple of near misses after interviews with Victory Racing in Dubai) but don't feel I've missed out as I've got to work on plenty of other cool stuff.

MX in the late 80's early 90's. My favorite motorsport to have ever been involved with.
Won most local races in 250C then 250B classes.







Go-carts in the mid 90's.... not as fun as MX



Autocross late 90's.... better than nothing

Dirt stock car past 2 1/2 yrs.... fun but still not as awesome as MX

A couple of seasons club racing at Inde Motorsport Ranch, Arizona.

Trail braking during a DE: steering and braking at the same time

Trail braking during a race: realizing that you overcooked your corner entry speed, keeping as much pressure on the brake pedal as you dare, hoping to scrub off enough speed before you reach the apex.

50+ class... 1st MX race in a long time took 2nd out of 7 on my old 2003 CR250 two stroke.





Hope to do some more this summer possibly. Much of my speed is still there but would need to get in much better shape to do well at the big races.

Do you have a you tube page with in car videos?
What are the specs on this car? Is it an Audi cup car?

Yes I do! https://www.youtube.com/user/AlterEgoRacing

It is a 2016 LMS GT3 factory FIA homologated race car. Very quiet but very fast!

Check out the videos from Sebring a couple of weekends ago. There is also an in car video of my team mate JG on his 2015.

Ask away......!
