I had some great opportunities working with My Life at Speed in 2014 and I’m thankful for each and every one of them.  I saw some of motorsports greatest drivers, cars and bikes compete at some of the best venues anywhere in the world.  I sincerely hope you all enjoyed following along with us and hope you’ll be here for the next year, and well beyond, as we continue to expand our global footprint.

Next year will bring more coverage, more photos, and an even wider scope of racing, adventure, and the characters that make it great.  Thanks for being part of the family.

Here are some of my favorite photos from 2014.
