I wrapped up my 3-day Formula 4 experience with Skip Barber at New Jersey Motorsports Park at the end of July. Three days of brutal heat, humidity, and total focus.
Top speed on this lap was around 185 kph. But it's not about the number. It's about how long you can stay near it through the straights and the turns without losing control.
That's where growth happens — right on the edge.
Too cautious, and you never find your limit.
Too reckless, and you blow past it.
The same principle applies everywhere: racing, business, life. You can't eliminate risk. You just get better at operating inside it — calm, deliberate, and in control.
This was the first step toward earning my SCCA competition license, the credential that opens the door to real open-wheel racing.
But for me, it's more than that. It's another way to sharpen discipline, awareness, and precision when it matters most.
