About Kohler Racing – Kohler Created

About Kohler Racing:

First off, THANK YOU for checking out Kohler Racing. Kohler Racing is a “team”, and by team I mean, me, my wife Jessica, our daughter KK, and our two dogs (had to include them) supporting me living out a dream hobby that is Motorsport Racing.

I have always been into cars, even as a child I was glued to Night Rider. My first car was a 1965 Mustang coupe, and from there on I always have owned sports cars. Driving fast has always been exciting and of course as a teenager I did plenty of that. However what really got me into more serious driving was from when I did my first Autocross. Skillfully driving a car is what I was after, and the concentration and focus it took was addictive.

After years of Autocross I decided that I wanted to try out driving on a real race track. This is where both Sports Car Club of America(SCCA) PDX (Performance Driving Experience) and National Auto Sport Association(NASA) HPDE (High Performance Driving Education) came to be my main focus. These events allowed me to practice on real race tracks with good, safe organizations.

I have participated in PDX and HPDE events since 2008. In 2010 I worked to convert my 2003 Nissan 350Z into a full-on track car. My goal then was to obtain my competition license with NASA and be able to drive in true competitive racing.

Update: I got my NASA Competition Liscense in 2016! I have been racing in ST4 to date.

Check out my YouTube Channel, it is updated after every track weekend with great footage.
