About:                     

I am very open and easy going. I have been called the "life of the party" on more than one occasion. I feel that I am a very likeable person with a good sense of humor. I love to make people laugh and I can take a joke about myself, it's pretty hard to offend me. I tend to trust people too much when I first meet them. Sometimes I screw myself because of that, but I think it's still one of my stronger traits. I knew when I watched the first episode that this is something that I wanted to do, and I hope and pray that I am one of the lucky few.

I have been racing go-karts, quads, and cars since I was about 10.  I have road raced karts, asphalt circle tracked cars, and am currently drag racing a '67 Firebird and flat tracking my quad.  I love all kinds of racing and have tried out my fair share.  I am very competitive and confident in my driving skills and I feel that with my driving history and personality, hopefully, I would be a good addition to the show.



Mission Statement:

Our mission is to first be on the show, if that happens, the mission is to be a team that can work well with each other, make new friends, be an entertaining team that people watching can relate to, and who knows, maybe even cheer us on. Oh..... The most important mission...Win!!!



About My Team:

The car that we would be driving is my 2006 Scion xB RS 4.0.  The car is number 1,054 of 2,500.  I have owned it for two years now and slowly modified it to be exactly how I wanted it.  The beautiful paint that came from the factory is what makes it stand out.  It has a chrome illusion paint that looks different in all kinds of light.  In the sun it looks orange and gold, and under a street lamp it gets a green and purple going that just looks sweet.  As for what is done to the car.....The first thing I did to the car was installed an in dash DVD player, a Kenwood 1,800 watt amp, and two Infinity Perfect 10" subs in a custom box.  That held me over for awhile but I wanted to go faster.<---WHA?!?!?!?!  So I installed a CAI, header, and a lightweight crank pulley.  I realized that the car will never be fast, so I thought I'd make it look good by putting a set of 18" Axis Decades on it.  Soon after I put some Tein S-Tech lowering springs on it that took it down almost 2".  Oh yeah, I tinted the windows somewhere in that story too.  This is the first car I have ever had a loan on and it is my daily driver.  I know you can beat a car up pretty good on the show, but to me, it's worth every little scratch, dent, or ding.

My navigator is my 20 year old brother Curtis.  He and I have worked together for about 2 1/2 years.  I chose him to be my teammate because I know that he will be able to drive my car well in a challenge, I trust him with my car, and I know that I can trust his decision on what route we should take.  He and I get along and I know that we can handle the pressure of working together in a stressfull situation.  He and I are not usually too serious around eachother and I know that he can take a joke but he is very quick and can dish it right back at you.  He is a pretty competative person and I know that I will be able to count on him when it counts. 

When it's all said and done I believe that we will make a strong team that will do well, be entertaining, and maybe even cause a little drama.

haha, I know how it is. even being strictly stock my car has basicly no give, and the roads here suck. That must ride pretty low if you dropped it though, I thought they were low as is, haha

Im with you on that, Im the only person around here who likes them, and I didnt really care for the new style. If its gonna be square, give it 90 degree angles, haha. How does that go anyway? I know the tC rode pretty nice but I havent had a chance to drive one of those yet
