Beautiful Mind

I'm a third-generation motorcycle racer who lives and breathes flat track racing. I decided to start this little project during the winter of 2017. It's intended for the avid fan, the new-comer, and anything else in between. I hope you enjoy my collection of thoughts, interviews, and discussions regarding all the things that make this sport "go-round!"
