I will be running again as President for 2025. I would like to see growth in programs this year to include: increasing the number of Staycyc races, finding more time and better ways to allow minis the most seat time, creating quality races for adults, and expanding our base of larger tracks to utilize new locations and different layouts. I would like to see policies clear cut, defined, and fair to all. Above all, I want to strive to put on the most quality races, tracks, events, and build a deeper comradery between all racers and families alike. We are in this race life together and I ask for the opportunity to continue to improve our club!

I am running to stay the VP this year because I feel like we are moving in the right direction as an organization but there are still areas to improve. I would like to focus on the racing and getting back to basics. Our penalty’s need to be written down, black and white so there are no surprises, yet its fair. The bump/promotion’s need to be easier to understand than the percentages. I took over this position mid season and would love the opportunity to help make changes for next year.
