Last week I had two very different coaching opportunities that were both a ton of fun and really rewarding for me. On Friday I was with the Track Advantage group for one of the many track events that they host at Virginia International Raceway throughout the year....

This past weekend was IMSA’s annual visit to Road America, and wow, what a week! With all of IMSA’s sanctioned series at the event, it was a great show for the fans. Speaking of fans, Road America had an incredible turnout. Despite the weather being up and down, it...

I’m excited about this week since IMSA is back in action at Road America. It’s been a long break for a couple of IMSA series, including Mazda MX-5 Cup, which had its last race all the way back in May. Lamborghini Super Trofeo hasn’t run since Watkins Glen in June, so...

This past weekend was an SCCA event at Road Atlanta, and I was attending it on behalf of Mazda for the Spec MX-5 Challenge Series that runs on many SCCA and NASA weekends. Spec MX-5 is a newer car that Mazda created to run in the Spec MX-5 series, which many racers...

This past weekend was a fun opportunity to join some clients not just as their coach, but also as their co-driver. We were competing in the World Racing League (WRL) endurance races at Road Atlanta, featuring a nine-hour race one day and a seven-hour race the next....

Mazda MX-5 Cup has had a long summer break in its schedule, with the last race having been at Mid-Ohio in May. It might be a break in racing, but it’s not a break in development. As the builder for the series cars, Flis Performance has been staying busy getting ready...

This past weekend was the first IMSA race at Watkins Glen since 2019, and it felt great to be back! The fans were out in full force, and it was especially refreshing that although things were put on hold for the past year, it didn’t feel that way at Watkins Glen. To...

Longtime friend and client Rob Trollinger has recently been earning some enduro class wins, and it’s incredible to watch his progress. We had a fun conversation at VIR last week, in which I asked him what he attributed his recent success to. Rob answered that he has...

This past week I found myself at VIR twice. Ironically, I was there in the same type of car both times! I was working with new clients on both visits, and it’s always fun to have the experience of working with clients for the first time. It’s always a pleasure to meet...

This past weekend was the annual SRO World Challenge event at Virginia International Raceway, and one aspect that was very welcome was the return of fans in full force! There was a tremendous turnout of fans, with folks camping all over the scenic pastures of VIR and...
