Well we are now 4 races into the Rolex Grand Am season. It’s been an exciting year so far. We are finally getting dialed in and up to speed with the needs of our new Chevrolet Corvette Prototype. The Daytona 24 hour was tough because we fought an electrical issue most of the race but brought home a top 5. Barber was disappointing because we were competitive and then got hit by the 10 car which resulted in an accident and a 9th place finish.Homestead was a good finish with a 3rd and getting to the podium in those horrible wet conditions was an accomplishment in itself. Finally last weekend was a solid 4th place finish at a tough track in New Jersey that is really hard to pass on. So now on to Detroit for the Chevrolet 200 in a couple of weeks. I have raced there many times and really like that circuit. We are still very much in the fight for the championship and it is still wide open as no single car is dominate so keep up the support we still have a long way to go.

As for Flying Lizard I am only racing the long races with them this year, my schedule is just too busy and won’t allow as much time to be able to run two series. We finished well at the 12 hours of Sebring with a 6th in class. My next race with them will be at LeMans in France mid June. Lastyear we had a 1 lap lead over the entire class but had an engine issue 18 hours into the race that took us out. I am looking forward to going back as Flying Lizard always prepares a great car.

I am also still working in the business side of things at the Bondurant School in Phoenix as the Chief Operating Officer. It has been a big learning curve for me working in that capacity but things are going well. We are very busy, looking at expanding the school and it’s always a fun place to be. At least I can go out and jump in a Corvette and run a bunch of laps on a racetrack if I get sick of sitting in the office for too long!

Thanks for visiting my site - I will add updates as the season continues. -Darren
