Hey Everyone,

Just thought I'd update everyone on the Jim Russell Championship Series for this season. It looks as if they are going to cancel the race season. They have already told us that they will only be doing a 6 race series now for this season, and there will be no F2 prize package for the champion. Instead, for the champion of the 6 race series, you will receive an Indy Lights test and a one off Indy Lights race at Infineon Raceway.

They just sent all of the victims of this a contract of which to sign, but we are all refusing to sign it. The terms of the contract are absurd, and it will never happen. What they have on the contract is confidential, but it isn't something I will be signing. We are trying to work out the details and see if there is going to be a "Series" this season, but it is not looking good.

On a bright note, I will be working on the movie "Knight and Day" one last time today. I will be doing some more ND driving, as someone drives through a security guard post. It's always fun working with the usual crew. Should be a blast!

I will most likely be driving up North (Home) at the end of the week, so it will be good to visit all of my friends that I haven't seen in a while! I'll keep everyone posted on the Jim Russell deal.

Hey everyone!

The last week of filming for Knight and Day went very well. Everything ran smoothly for them, and they got what they needed. I was running around in a "running of the bulls" outfit the entire week! There will be some CG bulls running behind all of us once it is all made.

I also got to play my own part in the movie. I was Eduardo's driver. I was doubling the driver, so you will only see me when he dies. (He's a bad guy it is obvious he was going to die anyway!)

My friends Russell Soleburg and Corey Eubanks got to do the fun stunt! Corey did a 360 spin in a tight space as Russell did a cannon roll right behind him. I was on the street as a bystander during the shot, so I got a front row seat to see it!

Today we are out in an empty parking lot for a sound recording for the movie. There is a Formula Drift car out here doing his thing, and there will be a motorcycle out here later to do the same. Definitely fun to watch.

I can't wait to get back in the race car! I am having some racing withdrawals at the moment! First race is April 18th at Infineon Raceway in the Jim Russell cars.

It is my 19th birthday today! I don't think I'm doing anything special for it. I might go bowling, may go hang out with a few friends, and definitely going to go to dinner with my family! I think I might go eat at Chili's, but my mom hates Chili's. So, I think I might have to settle with something else.

I didn't ask for the camera I want for my birthday, simply because it is way too expensive as a present. I am definitely saving up for it though! I want the Canon EOS 7D with the EF 100-400mm f/4.5-5.6L, EF 16-35mm f/2.8 II USM, EF 24-70 mm f/2.8 L USM, and TS-E 17mm f/4L. Expensive wish list for now, but I will take the time to save up for it!
