About Me

Well, I had this page for a couple of years now. Just within the last couple of months or so I decided to update it. That's why it is all about me and my cars now instead of the recording studio. Since the studio was disassembled a couple of years ago now I have been doing alot of motorsports stuff. I had the chance to get into autocrossing. Which, if you don't know what it is, it's a race in an open parking lot with a course made up of traffic cones. The purpose is to get through the course with the fastest time. there are different classes for cars depending on what has been done to them or not done to them performance wise. There is also and index that, in essance levels out all the cars racing. So, basicly a stock Civic with the index(handicap) could run faster times than say a Corvette. That's all for now. I'll add more stuff later.

My Interests

Cars and video games. Also video games about cars. TV shows about cars. I can't forget Music though.Origin Drift
