About the ACK

Here’s the long and short of it all…

I’m a 29 year old IT guy currently living with my wonderful girlfriend and her two one cat (or they’re living with me, or we live together, whatever). By day I work in IT for a local Fortune 500 company. In the evenings and on weekends, I spend my free time with my girlfriend and racing as much as possible.

Racing? Yes… racing. Not what most people would think though – I’m far from anything NASCAR related (thankfully). I race in the SCCA’s Solo Series with the Glen Region of the SCCA. It’s commonly referred to as autocross (or autox) though. We basically acquire a parking lot or large open space (airstrip?) and setup about a 60 second course of cones. And while there may be more than one car running at once, it is not wheel to wheel racing. Cars are divided into classes and you get multiple runs on the course in a day. Best time wins. And when I’m not actually racing with the SCCA, I’m volunteering as the Secretary on the Glen Region’s Board of Directors.

I also enjoy working on cars. Building computers. Watching movies. Playing video games. Going to car shows. Playing on the internet. Making fun of Facebook. And I’m sure there are many other things… but this will do for now.

If you need to know anything else about me, reading a chunk of my posts should give you a good idea what I’m about…
