Speed-E Racing

Well another fun season of TMGP racing has come and gone. My team won the overall championship in endurance and I came home with a decent amount of hardware for sprint championships too. Huge thanks to the entire Phillips family for running the events and my endurance teammates Michael Phillips and especially Stuart Siroky who always has the motorcycle prepped and ready to ride for each round. We'll see you in 2025.

Seems like they're getting way too hot.

I just got done recording a podcast with the folks at Track Walking Podcast and had a blast.

Go check them out when you have a chance and I'll let you know when my episode is going to be released in the coming weeks.

Good thing I had the rain tires mounted because it rained. This was probably my most hotly contested race with both bikes on rain tires...
