Last Saturday is a day I will never forget!!!

Last Saturday is a day I will never forget!!! I had a goal to make the A-Final with my wife and daughter as my pit crew, and I worked hard leading up to the event to reach that goal. Practice was tough, qualifying was even tougher, as I just couldn’t find my darn flow. Qualifying 54th … it was actually kinda heartbreaking inside. My 3 kids saw a lot of different things all week, I was making mistakes on track, on good runs, crashing on the last lap. Accidentally coming into pit lane to get fuel when I wasn’t called in. Having an engine issue and getting a DNF. Anything and everything was happening, I was mad at myself, and I was very sad at times.

God provided an amazing opportunity though … I had a chance to show my kids that you never give up, you don’t give up on your goals, even if it’s going terrible. I grabbed the win the 1/16th final on Friday, and moved into Saturday. I hadn’t raced on a Friday at the Worlds since 2002 🤯 Then I finished 2nd in the 1/8th final to move to the 1/4. My confidence was rising and I finally started to feel my flow. The support we had from the event was MENTAL 🙏 That was so encouraging and so amazing for me and my whole family to experience!!!!

The 1/4th final was my highlight race, and I felt I drove an amazing race. I took a gamble on the start, moving to the outside and making a pass in turn 1, a move I also took into the semi. Megan stepped up and her pit stops were INSANE!!!! I drove aggressive, but also patient, and I didn’t get in my own head, staying focused all the way to the end. Grabbing that win, emotion finally came out, fist pumping, soaking it all in and I was so happy. The crowd went crazy, my kids got to see me drive at the elite level and see the true support our family has 🥹

The 1/2 Semi final didn’t quite go as well, but I gave it everything and I have no regrets at all. Ultimately I missed my goal by 3 positions and 1.5 seconds. I was kinda bummed, but then God provided again. I was able to watch 13 friends from around the world 🌎 fight for a World Championship 🏆 And I got to experience it and watch it with my BEST FRIEND!!!! Saturday was perfect!!!!!

I can’t say THANK YOU enough to the RC community!!!! We have poured ourselves into JTP RC and I never dreamed that it could receive the support it is receiving!!!! We love our RC family ❤️
