What do you love about racing?
I love the speed I do down the track. I love seeing all of the friends I have made since I have
been racing and having fun.
How did you get into racing?
My Dad started racing first in his Monaro and I saw the kids racing the Juniors Dragsters
and I wanted to do it.
What do you consider as your racing highlights?
I love racing at the Winternationals each year at Ipswich and the highlight of my racing so
far was winning the Summit Racing 1/8 Mile Series this year.
What do you love about Junior Dragster Racing? Why should others get into it?
I love racing because it is a fun and exciting sport. I get to meet heaps of children and their
families from around Australia. It is a great individual sport but at the same time all of my
family are with me to help me work on my car.
What is your ultimate racing goal/dream?
To be part of Victor and Ben Bray’s racing team.
What do your school mates think about what you do?
They think it is pretty cool, but most of them don’t believe me when I tell them what sport
I do.
Is there anyone you would like to thank for being part of your drag racing journey?
I would like to thank my HJ Racing team (you all know who you are), Johnny Lewis, Ben and
Victor Bray, Robert Ambruosi and my Dad, Mum and Sister.
