Series: Tri-State Pro Series
Chassis: Millenium
Engine: Hi-Tech Racing

I started racing in 1998 in Spain, where I raced asphalt on road tracks and street races too. I even raced and met several drivers who are now racing the Formula 1 World Champioship. Between 2000 and 2003 I raced in VA at Langley Speedway (asphalt) and I\'ve been racing on dirt since 2005, winning the Dixie Winter Series in amateur in the 2005-06 season. My best finish at a Tri-State race was 6th after starting on the back because of a flat tire
in qualifying. In summertime I usually go back to Spain for a couple of months where I practice on asphalt with my 2 cycle motors and sprint kart and try different chassis for other drivers. I work as a teacher for Union County Schools.
