About Me

Hey, I'm Steve. I can engineer my go-kart to national-winning perfection, but no one will hire me to work as an engineer for pay. Go figure.
I'm rather reserved when I first meet people, and even after I get to know someone, I'm still on the quiet side . But I do go out of my way to assist my friends, whatever the problem may be.
I live in Wisconsin and Most of my free time is spent racing go-karts. The Gold Cup series has races all over the eastern United States, while the Midwest Sprint Series holds events in the Midwest. I'm running a Bandit now, used to run a Coyote. Sorry, but there's one Bandit that works for anybody, while Coyote keeps creating flavor-of-the-week chassis for each weight/engine/tire combo. The choice is indeed obvious!
Thanks to all of the people who make it possible for me to run so well on the track as of late:
I also work on replicating real-life racecars for computer games for fun. There's a screenshot of one in my photos section, a Porsche from the SCC mod for F1 Challenge.

It took SO many people to put together my 2006 season of karting, which culminated in 2 WKA national titles, that I figured I should make a list of them all for your perusal. My gratitude goes out to:...
