In classic racer form, this winter and spring was a rapid set of life altering decisions in my world, initially fueled by my employment situation, but followed closely by my discontent with life in Texas overall.
All of that ended up leading to me packing up my house and life, and once again making a big move - this time, basically finishing my "move" across this nation, landing here in northern Georgia in the greater Atlanta metro.
Access to mountains, twisty roads, great tracks, track days, good racing, and a cost of living I could deal with marked my ideal location.
Of course, 2020 hasn't gone as anyone predicted, and covid-19 greatly affected (still is) much of my life. Despite that, however, the move was completed, and I've been loving life here in Georgia. Not only have I been making good use of our beautiful mountains (hiking, riding), I've also started making some track days now that those are opening up, and am signed up for my first WERA race round the weekend of July 4.
I've also been able to get back into one of my old hobbies, riding and jumping horses at a local barn not too far from my house.
As for racing and track, the plans there outside of the short term are still very flexible, but I'm confident some timely review after getting started this season will help me chase the original plan for the year (even if a bit delayed).
I've made it to "Little Tally" (Talledega GP) and to the beautiful Barber Motorsports Park (where my first "east coast" race will be happening.
Thankfully my sponsors have managed to hang around as well, and I'm stoked to see that they are hanging in there with all the craziness going on! Will be spreading their services to this area now that I'm again getting to stretch my legs in a new location.
More to come as the season progresses!
