Drag racing will always be a part of my life. From spectator, to racer/driver, back to spectator and supporter, I will always endeavor to give back to the sport. I know firsthand about suffering through a racing accident, although I was lucky not to suffer any long-term effects. This gives me a different perspective of the sport and what drivers may feel. It is important to me to share and care and be some support where I can through DRAW.
