400 miles today from Redondo Beach to North Phoenix.
Not the glamorous side of racing, but probably one of the most important. We're spending the weekend training in the Arizona heat before heading to Cincinnati for the next MCC round.
Long days in the truck, long days at the track, doing everything we can to be prepared when race day comes around.
A lot happens behind the scenes that people don't seeāthe driving, the planning, the testing, the early mornings. It's all part of the process.
Now it's time to get some laps in.

Had an amazing time at the 356 Club of Southern California Concours event last weekend. Great cars, great conversations, and even better people. Always inspiring to connect with enthusiasts who share the same passion for cars, craftsmanship, and driving.
Appreciate everyone who took the time to chat, share stories, and make the event memorable. Looking forward to the next gathering already. āØ

Gained positions in every heat (+6, +6, +7, +5).
Heat finishes of P9, P9, P8, and P11 reflected consistent top-10 race pace in a 76-driver field.
Pre-Final ended before the start, and the Final was decided on Lap 1 following contact.
The pace is thereāexecution is next.
Back in Italy this summer to convert the pace into results.

Strong response in WSK prefinal after getting taken out in Heat 2 & 3.
J-Mac charged from P26 to P16 on track (+10), making split-second decisions on Lap 1 and pulling off a move around the outside.
First time at South Garda ā adapted quickly coming from Redondo Beach, California. The pace was there all day.
A post-race bumper penalty puts the official result at P19.
Looking ahead to the ACI Italy Karting National race next week
