What’s your favorite track and configuration?

Charleston Peak long at Spring Mountain. Lots of blinds, elevation changes, it’s a great track!

What's your number one goal for this season?

To get a podium. Lots of fast guys out there, and my handicap doesn’t help. But I’m fairly new at this being 3 years in so I can’t let it get to me, haha.

What’s the best piece of advice you can offer newer track drivers?

Focus on tire selection and suspension set up. This will keep your handicap fairly low and be competitive. Listen to the seasoned dudes (and gal), these guys have great feedback and are always willing to help!

What is the single most effective mod that you’ve done to your Mustang?

My alignment by Eladio at Gummy Grip (total shout out) that maximizes my suspension upgrades. With being such a heavy car and it turns in with such precision, it’s like a scalpel!

What was your first Mustang?

An ‘88 foxbody GT I paid $3k for back in high school. It was my first auto loan and the first car that I started really wrenching on. It was a lot of fun—so many donuts and burnouts!
