What's been the biggest challenge to your racing program this season?  Compared to last season?   Having had to replace my motor the biggest challenge will be getting the car dialed in.

What's gotten you hooked on the drag racing scene?  I love the rush I get when I'm going down the track.

What are your plans for the future?   I hope to continue racing for as long as I can. I hope to finish high enough in the points to go to the Divisionals.

What advice would you give to someone looking to start out?    Start out with something you can handle. Take advantage of the knowledge from seasoned drivers. There is a lot more to it than just going fast.
