Why and when did you start racing go-karts? 2 years ago. well, a friend had a PTK and he let me and my dad try it and ever since then we wanted one so we got one.

What type of kart do you race? Birel CQ32 with a Senior Rotax Engine

Why did you choose the class and chassis you are racing? I run Rotax International because I don't weigh enough to be in masters. and I chose the chassis because I bent my CRG frame so I had to get another one and this one was a smokin deal.

What advise would you give someone wanting to start racing? check out forums. come to the track and check it out. get in a kart and try it. talk to other people to gather information.

What are your other hobbies? i ride my dirtbike, play guitar, ride BMX, fly remote control helicopters and airplanes, and just hang out with friends and have a great time.

What is your favorite saying? I don't have one?

What would you like people to know about you? umm i'm nice (generally lol)... if you come talk to me then im not mean. im willing to help with whatever i can. and if i haven't talked to you that much i may be kind of shy (especially if your a really pretty girl haha) but that goes away when i start to get to know you.
