New Kid from Portland, Oregon

[Kay2]

Hey guys,

My name's Kyle Keenan, I am 19 and have been racing now for ten years.

I work full-time at two jobs, close to 75 hours a week so I can race on the weekends (Well, on Sunday's, I have to work on saturdays)

I currently drive a 95 Miata we built to compete in a local Spec Miata series. I am having a TON of fun and hoping to try out Time Attack sometime, even though I'll get walked over.

Our miata. Finished 3rd in points last year, Qualified on Pole once, and finished 2nd four consecutive times.


Got asked to drive this NSX for a test day, had plans of driving it in 2010 but the owner ended up selling it


That's pretty much where I am at. Really hoping to make a trip down to cali for a Time Attack just to see what it's like!

Thanks for viewing guys,
Kyle

The above intro should be force fed to all of the bitchy-ass whinners who dont put hard efforts into their racing program. This kid wants it bad and has the work ethic and attitude to make it happen!

Rant off......


Welcome here, hope to see you at some races

Thanks Shaun, it was an awesome car to drive, incredibly stable, and much faster then anything I have competed with! An experience to remember for sure!

JC, thanks man, means a LOT coming from a big name like yourself! You still racing SM?

Thanks "kid"

Yep, I still squeeze my butt into my SM here and there. Not so much for racing as much as just cheap and fun track days and training. Amazing how a 100whp SM can truly help with the flame throwin beasts that I also drive, they can all compliment each other. I keep a passenger seat in it for barf-alongs, I mean ride-alongs

I may have it out this week and again in 3 weeks for some fun. It will finally need tires soon.....

[Kay2]

Yeah, I'm honestly blown away with how much driving the miata has taught me about being smooth, and patient. I really hope I can keep mine around as I try and move forward and drive faster cars.

LOL @ the tire comment! Tires last FOREVER on these things!
