Zoom-Zoom Father's Day

With this being Father’s Day weekend at the track, we talked to a few MX-5 Cup racers. We asked the racers for the best advice their dad ever gave them.Mike Collins: When I was in high school, I was into hot rods and maybe even participated in a drag race or two. I'll never forget my first lesson in racing from my dad: "Son, you can go as fast as you can spend it."

Dean Copeland: "Don't ever look back, only look forward."

When I started racing go karts, I would turn my head back and look at the competitors and see where they were. This caused distractions to my racing line and performance; so with this advice I began to not worry about who was behind me, just put in good laps and hit my marks every time, and take no prisoners. This advice can be used in everyday life as well. Don't live in the past. Just look forward and great things will come to those who have big aspirations and work hard to achieve them. This is the motto and attitude all of team CMS lives by, and we will set our sights on Road America next week for Rounds 5-6 with big goals and only look forward to the ultimate goal, the 2016 Battery Tender Global Mazda MX-5 Cup championship!
