I'm an avid motorsports enthusiast that has both the natural driving ability and intellectual & analytical requirements necessary to become a great, full-time professional racer.My roots are in autocross which requires complete car-control and an understanding of vehicle dynamics. An understanding of all things suspension, tires, etc. is necessary to truly excel in the sport.
I have a list somewhere of some of the things that I've won and I'll likely try to dig that up and post it tomorrow...
I have previously competed at several different "prep" levels in a Mazda Miata (RWD & 50/50 weight distribution) and most recently have a blower forcing in all kinds of cool air making this a true auto-x machine.
Due to winning both Provincial and National competitions / championships multiple times in Canada, I find it necessary to venture south into the United States for a deeper pool of competitors, talent and an established and professionally run SCCA organization. The hope is for some greater visibility.
There is a chance that at Nationals in Topeka (1200+ competitors) that some notice can come your way. Some greats such as Boris Said, Jeff Altenburg, Peter Cunningham, TC Kline, Shawna Marinus and Randy Pobst have all come from autocross.
This form of motorsport is attractive because even without significant corporate backing, a driver can usually scrounge sufficient funding themselves to campaign a competitive program.
For the 'States, I will have to prep a completely new / different car because presently, there is no class whereby a Miata is competive - and driving a HIGH strung car across the continent is risky (no tow vehicle budget) so a 4-banger that's good on gas... but can handle will be the order of the year.
