THINGS THAT GO VROOM

It was the last race of the decade for me, and 2019 has been the busiest (and most expensive) season of my racing career. Ten full race weekends and a couple test days sure broke the budget, but boy did I have a lot of fun. My race craft certainly improved, I learned a heck of a lot, and I even won a couple of races.
