My journey back

Thank you.

Your here to see post number one, hopefully with many many more, including posts from other countries and continents to fill this page for some exciting reading, or even a interesting look back in time.

I have a illness, a disease you may say, to be better, or ultimately, be the best in something. I can be on my way to the car and see someone who is with me making effort to get there sooner, its on, im racing.

Its in the blood.

Sadly there is no cure, cliche as it may sound, all you can do is supress your desire for another day, by ending todays in a victory of some sort.That maybe a race-part your building, and it works as you had hoped or desired, or able to pull off a win on the weekend.

I have a long road ahead of me, i am dipping my feet so to speak into the world of competitve and later international drifting.

I always had ambitions to be a race car driver after my accident, however being in Perth Australia, isolation and limited opportunities in race tracks, and racing classes means your going to go broke, or get bored ... inevitably most dont see it thru. I had the opportunity to once race in Europe, and the window closed right infront of me, but life must go on as others will open one day.

Now its up to me to build a car for myself, and not others, for me to be perhaps one day great at something again. I wont be a endurance racer for a LMP1 team at LeMans. I doubt ill get a GT drive, so its up to me to do what i also love, and thats drifting. 

So now the time has come to build a specific drift car for my needs, to work with my dissabilities, and see if we can "make" it one more time to a podium.

I hope you follow, and enjoy this journey.
