Once you reach a certain age, pitching a tent gets harder and harder.

Disagree with playing any music at all when the car sounds this good. Radio OFF, windows DOWN. (also, that remix of Crokett’s Theme is not doing it for me. Original Jan Hammer please)

My wife and I are days away from having our first kid and it’s going to be a girl. I can’t wait to show her stories like this. My mentality is that if there is anything I hope to teach her it’s that she can do or be anything she wants to and tough has nothing to do with masculinity. Be proud, work hard, fail, get up,…

“I think that it’s a mutually beneficial process,” Straus said. “I learn from the drivers around me and they learn from me—not just how to get faster, but how to be better, more respectful racers.”
