Since I raced at Auto Club Speedway for COPD (Cardio Obstructive Pulminary Disease—a serious lung disease–research it, get tested if you have symptoms and help the charity if you can), I am now—more than ever—excited about our app Smoke Your Tires. It’s really a blast! In fact, Auto Club Speedway is one of the many backdrops used on the various skill levels. You can pretend you just won a big race and have the chance to do spins, burnouts and SMOKE YOUR TIRES!!! (more…)

Kids, Math, Science and NASCAR – 29. March, 2011

What an honor! – 9. March, 2011
Once again I was named Honorary Mayor of the North San Fernando Valley. This will be my seventh year doing my best to help the community in and around where I live. I recently learned from Police Captain Sean Kane that crime is down 20% in our area which made me very happy. Perhaps some of the programs we’ve worked on at our local PALS youth center to our own Good Choices after school program have helped influenced this incredible statistic. We give kids constructive outlets and ways to cope with their issues. The world today isn’t quite like I remember it as a kid. All we can do is to keep on doing what we’re doing and try to set these kids on the right path. I believe strongly that we can make a difference. (more…)
