My Life at Speed

GRC Seattle 2016 – Friday Photos

Friday at the Seattle round of the Red Bull Global Rallycross series was filled with action, and we expected no less! Great driving, and even a massive explosion under the hood of Nelson Piquet Jr.!

Here are some of my favorite photos from Friday action:

Playing in the dirt is fun!

I've been around some form of racing since I was a kid. First hanging around Ascot in Southern California. Then, after moving to Texas as a teen, I got hooked on drag racing and did that for almost fifteen years. In between I have raced Dirt bikes and Quads. 2011 Marked my 8th and final year racing up Pikes Peak: Five in the Pro Quad division and three in Time Attack. Future racing plans are in the works, but until then I'm at the track shooting for My Life at Speed as much as I possibly can.
