A look back at 2013

2013 was a very busy year for me as I took over a management position for the kart track at Sonoma Raceway, the Simraceway PKC.  One of the most rewarding experiences was running a three day long summer camp for kids.  I found this nice write up by pro driver Memo Gidley:

In 2013 I directed the Arrive and Drive Karting Series for the SPKC and created several new programs and curriculum for the racing school.  It was a very exciting year indeed and a lot of time spent at the kart track.

Each month I helped baseline test the karts for the arrive and drive race series which was a nice way to get out of the office.  Here is an in-kart video of my favorite Simraceway PCK track configuration: National Reverse.  This was a cold morning after a rain the day before, so the lap time is a bit off but definitely fun pushing the kart to its limits.
