By now I’m sure most readers know who Greg is (quasi-iconic figurehead of GT Motoring, I know) and so you’re probably wondering why anyone else would ever post in GT Motoring’s blog section.

I’m one of GT Motoring’s Time Attack drivers who helps as a part-time volunteer employee in numerous aspects for the company…not all necessarily good, mind you.  I did however bring a championship and a number of records to GT Motoring via a Redline Time Attack 2008 Season Series Championship for the Street Front Wheel Drive Class  from behind the wheel of  the RSX that both Greg and I have been building for quite some time.  Does having such a distinction qualify me for instant e-cred?  Could I maybe get some authority around these parts of the interwebs?  Absolutely not.

I’m nothing more than an open-minded novice driver with only a couple of years under his belt and a TON of things to learn.  My purpose in blogging on GT Motoring’s site (aside from a means for Greg and Jae to humor me into thinking I’m “special”) is to communicate to the general and interested public just how easy it is to get into road racing and motorsports in general.  In talking with so many people, there still exists a perception of disproportionately high barriers of entry into the sport, which couldn’t be farther from the truth.

In sharing my exploits and learning experiences my aim is to encourage people to become more active in the sport and to shed some light on what the guys do over at GT Motoring in terms of motorsports initiatives.   My feeling is that if someone can take notice of what I’m doing (or not doing), they should be able to think to themselves, “if that moron can do it, there’s no reason I can’t do it better.”

I’ll be the first to say that I’m not an authority on hardly anything, but I’m definitely learning as I go and I’ve got a phenomenal group of guys to help me out.   My posts are done with the intention of creating an active dialogue where people like myself can contribute by posting comments or questions, and more knowledgeable authorities can feel free to chime in whenever, so don’t hesitate to speak up!
