Thank you to all of the men and women in Land Speed Racing who encourage me to crew, race and capture the passion of the LSR culture.
As a photographer, it was not records that inspire me to drive, it is the racers discipline to stay in shape, their skill to ride or drive and their courage to go fast.
It is wonderful to know there is always a possibility I could get a record or a "Red Hat" someday, but that is just the icing on the cake. I find it more rewarding to inspire others, just as Eva, Danny, Willy, Kitty, Leslie, Al, Jane, Tegan, Chick , Monte, George, Ali, Nick, Fred, Judy, Ed, Mike, Billy, Tony, Lee, Jill, Jim, Martin and countless others have inspired me.
It is not about records. Land speed racing is about being positive, inspiring others to be courageous, be self –confident and follow their dreams.
So far, as evidenced by the attached photo, my choice to be positive and encouraging to others is very rewarding.
My next step is to get my “A” license, then a record and into the 200 MPH Club. These personal goals are a direct result of the positive and encouraging attitude of others. I am extremely grateful to those who have given me so many amazing opportunities.
Thank you.
