I had one of the most amazing days on Saturday the 23rd. Oh man was it Awesome!

Here is how it all happened.

On Friday, I was sitting at Starbucks having a devotional time, and this 1963 Cobra comes pulling up to the parking lot! After wiping the drule away from my mouth, I decided I wanted to let him know how awesom his car was. What was cool about that, is I don’t usually tell people how nice there cars are, because they already know it. But this guy seemed different! He did’nt have it just to make a statement, or to look cool, but he was truly enjoying his car! I could tell he deserved his car! He worked for his car! And I felt like the Lord wanted me to tell him his car was AMAZING!!!

So when he walked out of Starbucks, I told him how amazing his car was. We introduced ourselfs. His name is John Burk, and he is a retired pilot who still loves to go fast! Then we got to talking about how he built his Cobra, and then we just kept talking about cars and racing and motorcycles and mt. bikes for quite a while. It was a fun time! Tom taught me a lot about cars in that little bit of time! It was Awesome! He is deffinently on top of that kind of stuff!

Tom let me know of Corvette auto cross race happening on saturday. So I decided nothing was stopping me from going to that event. I called up my buddy Jeremy, and we got up at 6:30 am, and hit the road at 7.

It took us a bit to find the place, because it was held at a State Patrol Training Facility out in the middle of nowhere. The state patrol officers we ran into did’nt even know how to tell us to get there. It was pretty funny.
But finally we found it, and wow, I have never seen soo many corvettes in one place. It was quite cool!

I found Tom, and he introduced us to his buddy John! John is currently the Auto Cross National Champion! Oh man, his driving is smoother then a babies bottom. Tom got me the chance of a life time. I was going to get to ride with Jon on all of his race runs. I was soo excited I could hardly contain myself

I put on Tom’s helmet, and we were off! Jon’s car is a Z06 with 540hp. It’s an amazing car! But it’s not soo much the car that wins, it’s the driver! Jon taught me soo much that day about racing, so now when I start racing, I can carry into my driving what I saw in Jons driving!

They have no idea what that did inside me that day, but I know they will see it come out soon!

I later found out that John was also the 2003 rookie of the year at the PIKES PEAK HILL CLIMB. John finished the race on 3 wheels! That’s amazing, especially if you’ve ever watched that race on tv, or live.

So a special thanks to John and Tom, for giving me the time of day, and fanning that flame the Lord put in me to race cars! It’s a raging fire now!!! THANK YOU!!!

Well, I will have pictures posted of that day as soon as possible. But keep checking back for more!

Have a Wonderful week you guys, and I will be talking to you soon!!!

RIDE’N ON AND ON!!!
