I am very pleased to announce that I will be competing next year with JDC Motorsports in the Pro Mazda Championship Series.  Thanks to Mazda and their ladder system, I am able to move up into the Pro Mazda series which has been a goal of mine for awhile now.  Throughout the 06’ season I was keeping an eye on many different Pro Mazda teams and their performance. 

JDC had a very good record last season with Dane Cameron.  I was approached by many different teams which I tested with as well, but JDC was able to put together the right package. Rick Cameron, the teams engineer, and I worked very well together during the test which produced competitive times for a test day at Buttonwillow.Apart from the actual test, I felt comfortable with the team as we all worked well together.I look forward to competing in the Mazda Championship with John Church and his entire staff for the 2008 season.

Away from my Pro Mazda goals I will still be involved in the karting scene with Tony Kart. My plans are to attend various race meetings with the U.S. factory based team to conduct driver coaching with its new drivers. I am hoping to be able to stay in the karting seat by testing for the team, as a kart is good physical training. 2008 is going to be very competitive and challenging, but I believe the right package has been put together to win.
