Profile:

I was one of those “NASCAR is boring” robots who don’t understand anything about the sport. I became a fan after a couple of friends suggested I open my mind and actually watch a race or two. The first race I sat down and watched all the way through was when #3 hit the wall…
I started following JJ #48 because he is from San Diego and we have very little to cheer about sports-wise.
Now I am good and hooked! I don’t really know alot about the sport yet, but I am learning more as I go. I have the EA Sports NASCAR 2003 game for GameCube and that is probably teaching me more about the cars than anything else.

Other interests:

San Diego is more of a sports participation place than a spectator place due to the wonderful year-round weather. I surf and get to the beach as much as I can. There is nothing like sliding down the face of a wave at 6am next to a pod of dolphins!
