"Tire and brake sponsor wanted!"

Bio

I really did not have any interest in motorsports before. I was introduced to HPDEs when I was prototyping some suspension in March 2003 with my 2002 Nissan Sentra SE-R Spec V. Ever since then I was hooked!

There is nothing like the feeling of G forces on you and your car as you take a turn at triple digit speeds. I love the sound of tires squealing and the smell of heated brakes during a HPDE.
