I don’t typically comment on much here but I’ve had something to say for a while now so I’m just gonna say it.

This fandom is a place where no one has to lose, but for some reason you’re all playing to win.

Why? Why does anyone feel like they need to tear each other down here? What good does that do for anyone?

We can all build each other up and create such an amazing positive place for everyone. So why aren’t you?

If you think you’re better than anyone here, and you want to tear people down. Then you don’t belong here.

Hey there! I’m Jato, a midwest mechanical engineer at a large engine manufacturer, regional club level spec miata racer, driving instructor & coach. Too many other hobbies to list that just don’t get enough time.

Find me elsewhere on the web: https://t.co/K3iXiUJqSj

Guess I should make a pinned post here too, despite trying to use Bsky exclusively.

@AJonTrack Idk… loud V8s, exhaust fumes and airborne dirt sure sounds therapeutic to me

Needed today to take my mind off how fucked the US is. Had the 4th round of the karting league at Fastimes this morning, followed by sushi for lunch and a sweet detour to Mochi Dough in Carmel.

Now to get some work done on the racecar.

Happy #MX5Cup Race Week!

Took care of one last outstanding item on the new car’s to-do list: a proper seat back brace.

Measured, modeled, sent to @sendcutsend, arrived today and installed. Fits like a glove. 👌

[Jato 🏎️ @DestructoFox]

2024 was full of trying times, and 2025 looks to continue that… there were also a lot of fantastic times that I hope to multiply next year.

It won’t be easy, but I know the effort will be worth it than not trying.

Happy New Year!

The PRI Sim Racing Arena continues to expand. Talked with some fellow racers and top iRacing talent, 10-20 hours per week seemed like the norm. Gotta make it happen this off season!

[Jato 🏎️ @DestructoFox]

I love getting to come to PRI every year. Catching up with friends while surrounded by cool cars, and getting to check out the latest gear.

[Jato 🏎️ @DestructoFox]

I love seeing all the cool cars at PRI
