What made our first Open Track Day so special was not just the cars or the track time. It was the people.

From the track marshals to the drivers, from the spectators and passengers to the tech support teams and the vendors who showed up and became part of the paddock, this event came to life because of the community that formed around it. People connected, supported each other, shared knowledge, adapted together, and helped create an experience that felt real, welcoming, and full of passion.

That is what we are most grateful for.

Thank you to everyone who believed in this first event, who showed up with the right energy, and who helped make Lone Star Apex feel like more than just a track day. It felt like the beginning of a real community.

More to come.
And we are just getting started.

Another weekend of hard practice pays off!

This past weekend I drove a different car than im used to! I took a 2025 Dark Horse Handling Package onto @cota_official to sharpen my skills for the upcoming @mustangcupusa race May 7-9 and I was impressed! The Dark Horse handles very well for a stock car and with some sticky @yokohamatire racing slicks to keep it glued to the track I was keeping up with some GT4 Porsches in my group! HUGE THANKS to @opmustang_racing for sending me some brake pads to actually make this track weekend possible! Without their fast overnight shipping and speedy processing I probably would’ve fried the stock pads and been done for the weekend! Safe to say this past weekend was a great refresher of the track and definitely strengthened my skill and confidence for my next race driving the #8 Leif Johnson Ford Racing Dark Horse R. I’d like to give a special thanks to @wraith_boss302s who helped me even further progress my skills and actually taught me during the start of my racing journey so safe to say I was in great hands! Thank you very much to @rafaracing.club for the on track support and continued hospitality y’all give me. Highly looking forward to my next race and feeling strong to take the win this year!

5 years and I’m back making a “Post”… here’s some shots from the job that’s always on my stories and some life events/ fun memories. From moving out of my parents’ place, buying a house w the broski, new hobbies, making new friends, cofounding a car meet group and more; little me would never imagine I’d be where I’m at now, let alone me 5 years ago. Ofc we never see the other side on socials of sleepless nights, disappointing news, loss or struggle. Trust me, it’s there but its been a wild ride and I wouldn’t trade any of it… Even if all 3 of my cars are down right now lol. Love all my peeps 🫶🏼. Back to more growth and character development, see y’all out there ✌🏼

“What am I doing at the track on a random Wednesday?”
Same thing I’d be doing any day I get the chance—living fast, shooting faster. 🏎️💨📷

This year’s @code19_racing event by Lambda at COTA was awesome! Gave ride-alongs to a lot of people from the Tech, Financial, and Defense industries. Also was mapping COTA via LiDAR and various other sensors for AI to use in the future.

Long days at the track, but moments like this make it worth it.
