ROK The Rockies 2019 – Race Director

By Jared | February 24, 2019 - 2:25 pm | Uncategorized

I am honored to have been offered the position of Race Director for the 2019 ROK The Rockies kart racing championship. All events will take place at SBR Motorsports Park in Calhan, CO. This will be the 2nd year of the ROK The Rockies Series. I'll be working with SBR Motorsports Park owner Lee Seigel and members of the national ROK team in efforts to grow the series and make sure the events go off without a hitch. I am looking forward to this year at the kart track and meeting some new people in the Colorado kart racing scene. I worked for the Florida Winter Tour Round #2 at The Hard Rock Stadium (where the Dolphins play NFL games) and will be flying back out to Florida for Round #3 of the FWT at Ocala Gran Prix. Shadowing the national ROK crew and race directors at these events is great training and I feel that I will be more than prepared to direct the ROK The Rockies series this year.

It has been an amazing and rewarding experience working with the team at PPIR for over 3 years building our driving programs, events and community. After much thought and consideration I decided to step down from the Track Manager position at PPIR in January 2019. I am so grateful for the support that my colleagues, friends and family have given me in this decision to spend more time with my baby boy Asher. I will still be around the race track as an instructor and driver as needed for events and programs. Tommy Boileau and Brady Alberson have taken over the majority of my responsibilities as Track Manager and I believe they will do excellent work moving forward. It has been a wonderful experience developing new driving programs such as the Performance Driving Xperience, Time Attack and Drift Series, Drive 365 corporate driving events, and more. Seeing Hot Rod Rock and RUmble and a few of the other major events take off has been exciting and rewarding. I am sure that the team at PPIR will continue building programs and events with the momentum we established over the last few years.
