Resolute... not Resolutions!

2009 is on the way...

So they say New Year's Eve/New Year's Day is the time to make your New Year's resolutions! Which really is just another way to say you didn't get to all the things you should have done or wanted to do in the previous year. Ultimately, those resolutions end up just being black ink on that white tablet. The idea of the resolution is to complete goals, to feel achieved. Which is a great concept, but nothing more if it is never completed. So this year I will not make resolutions, but instead plan to be resolute. Resolute in achieving my goals/objectives! I am learning to be more flexible, fluid, and open minded. So my goals and objectives will change with the year as needed.

So with that... I hope each of you finds what you need in the New Year! Remembering there is a vast difference between what one wants and what one needs! I hope 2009 brings many welcome changes for all!

Prelude to a new opportunity...

The west coast has been patiently waiting (for lack of any other colorful terms) more racing opportunities. Over the past several years we have had the opportunity to race with great organizations such as Norcal Dragbike Association and Dragbike Promotions. In the coming years we hope to see those organizations grow and provide more race opportunities.

I am pleased and optimistic in saying, I believe MDRA can effectively replace NMRA and provide us with one more organization to race with!










After several meeting of the minds and discussions, I have graciously accepted a position with MDRA. My objective is to help from the racers perspective, to be the voice of and for the racing community! I am excited to be able to help out in an industry that I have so much passion for, not only as a fellow racer but as a spectator too. I have great respect for all the racers and hope to see the West Coast become even more competitve.
