Default Checking in to give an update...

Hey everyone. I had hoped to post this up sooner just to say hello to familiar names. Unfortunately my schedule just didn't work out as planned. That has been the case for quite sometime with me now.

You see, this past January my wife passed away suddenly and unexpectedly. I am now left picking up pieces of my life and taking care of our 3 young children.

Naturally, I will no longer have the free time to continue racing or the support at home to spend days away anymore. So in the next few weeks I will post up for sale my Cadillac CTS-V racecar as well as my Featherlite 24' trailer.
So if anyone is interested or knows of a friend that may be looking, feel free to contact me or forward the info.

I am still around, just not as often. And I am still in the Cadillac family as well with my '18 Escalade and '17 ATS-V (soon to be CTS-V)

Faith, Family, and Friendship - with these 3 things for sure, you'll be able to handle any challenges in life...

I hope everyone has a happy and safe holiday season.

-Chris

Sorry for your lost, that must be awful to deal with. I agree on your big 3, and always look for the positives however small to keep things as good as possible.

That’s horrible to hear. I’m so sorry. I couldn’t imagine losing my wife and raising my kids by myself. Find support wherever you can.

Holy smokes...
My heartfelt condolences on your loss. Thoughts certainly, but more importantly, prayers. Read you some Job, keep your priorities as they are, and keep on keepin' on. Hang in there, my man.
