it's nice to see my photos get used from time to time.

We've been busy behind the scenes!

Over the past year, we've made a lot of improvements to the ChampCar website with the goal of making it easier to use and better organized for everyone.

Some of the updates include:

🏁 A refreshed website layout with improved organization and navigation.

📰 A new News section on the homepage to make it easier to keep up with the latest announcements, race information, partner spotlights, and club updates.

📝 Updates to the registration system, with new tools being added to help our staff and accounting team work more efficiently.

👥 A completely new HR web portal that gives our staff and officials one central location for policies, procedures, forms, event information, training materials, and other resources they use throughout the season.

🗳️ A brand-new online polling and voting system designed to provide a fair and secure voting process for member elections and official voting.

We're also putting the finishing touches on our new Pit Lane & Garage Assignment system. Once your team's entry has been paid in full, your team captain will be able to log into the registration system and select your team's preferred pit lane or garage assignment (where available). The system is currently in testing and will be available soon.

Many of these changes happen quietly behind the scenes, but they help us provide a better experience for our members while making day-to-day operations more efficient for our volunteers and staff.

As always, if you run into any issues, find something that doesn't work quite right, or have ideas on how we can make the website even better, please let us know. We're always looking for ways to improve, and your feedback helps shape the future of ChampCar online.

Looking to race at Lime Rock Park? We still have a few openings available for teams. If you'd like to join us, contact us at [email protected] and we'll help get your team entered!

Thank you for being part of the ChampCar community. We appreciate your support, and we'll see you at the track!

Not your traditional graduation photos — and that's exactly the point. 🎓

Sometimes the best moments happen when you stop trying to force the perfect shot. Kyle wasn't feeling the traditional pose, so we ditched it. Mom walked away, he climbed a tree, and what happened next was pure him. Comfortable, genuine, and full of personality.

That's what I'm here for, not just to take your photo, but to capture you.

Congrats Kyle on graduating high school. The world doesn't know what's coming, but college is about to find out. So proud of you, and I can't wait to watch you conquer whatever you set your mind to.

the full mini album is up on the website.

and always willing to travel.
