My Story

When I was little I fell in love with cars. Eventually, my dad decided it would be fun to take me to my first race. We bought tickets and drove to Road America. It was a superbike race and we both had so much fun. I got to go into the paddock and take pictures with riders, get signatures, and I even got to sit on one of the bikes. After that, we kept going to the track and my love for motorsport continued to grow.


My family and I had discussed the idea of getting a kart and competing at the Road America Motorplex. On March 13th of 2022, we went to a swap meet and purchased my kart. It is a 2016 Merlin LM30. It is powered by a 2-cycle Yamaha KT100S. This marked the start of my racing career.
