It’s hard to believe the year is coming to an end this week, but I’ve got lots of exciting things on the horizon in 2026, so I’m also looking forward to the season ahead. I’m certainly grateful for all the incredible moments I experienced this past year, and today, I’m reflecting on some of the major achievements I got to be a part of.
Personally, getting to participate in the inaugural IMSA Classic at the famed Rolex 24 at Daytona was a great memory and the perfect way to kick off 2025! I got to race one of Mazda’s prize Heritage Collection cars, the RX-7 GTO. Taking a victory under the lights was not only a lot of fun but also iconic as I got to bring that car back to life where it has had so much success in IMSA competition. I’m planning to participate again this coming year, but in a different car from Mazda’s collection.
It was also a thrill to get back behind the wheel of a prototype this year through racing with Forbush Performance. We’re looking forward to continuing on with an upgraded LMP3 car for the IMSA VP Challenge championship this coming year.
The 2025 season was also a tremendous year for a couple of my clients. One of them was Anthony Geraci, who won many races in the SRO GT4 America series and finished runner-up in the championship while winning the final race of the season in Indianapolis. A hard-fought and consistent season of results put the team in that position, and it was enormously rewarding to help them achieve their goals along the way.
Working with Dean Neuls in his inaugural Lamborghini Super Trofeo season was also rewarding for me. Dean was new to all the circuits in the U.S., but he managed to come away with many podium results and really put together some competitive drives throughout the season.
I have lots of things to be thankful for this year, and at the same time, I’m ready to move forward into the upcoming season!
