Welcome to my humble online abode. As you'll find in the following pages, I'm more concerned with "go" than "show", although I've certainly seen worse looking Miatas. I bought this car originally to serve as a weekend autocross and open track toy, and it has since also become my daily driver. It has fulfilled both roles exceptionally well since i bought it in September of 2001, and I hope that it continues to do so for the forseeable future!

This site is starting to get big enough to require an index, so here it is:

The following few pictures are from the "Miatas @ Hallett" event put on by the Arkansas Miata Club at Hallett Motor Racing Circuit in Oklahoma, September 6th, 2003. Hallett is a real treat to drive, with lots of elevation changes, a few blind corners, and some serious braking zones. Definitely one of the best tracks I've had a chance to drive.

I've found that the best way to prevent people from asking to "bum a ride" is to take them around as a passenger for a lap or ten. Seems once they've ridden with me on the track, they never want to get in my car again! ;-)

Here's my car at MotorSport Ranch with NASA in February '02. My first time at this particular track - very technical, a good momentum track. Great place for a Miata!

Here's another picture from the 3/15/03 Subaru Focus Day at MotorSport Ranch. A black WRX wagon decided to go "dirt surfing" in front of me coming out of Big Bend.
