Hi everyone, name is Dylan Maisel.
A couple of you may remember me, I competed in STX pretty regularly in the early-to-mid 2000s when I was just a whipper-snapper.
I think 2006 was my last trip to Nats, it’s been a minute!
Since then I got my act together, embarked on a career and started a family.
Sal Esposito, a dear friend who has moved east, got me back into racing and into the PPIR Track-Attack series starting in 2017. I was content to run that series until they changed their organizational structure and eliminated timed competition for 2024! booo hiss, oh well.
So now I drive a 2019 MX-5 that I set up for the now defunct-RB class. From what I can tell, my car is moderately-prepared for STR, aside from running 215-width 200TW tires on 8″ wide wheels. I guess that’s the plan for now!
Just wanted to say hi and I will see you folks at hopefully all of the Fountain events this year, and also hopefully a few up north.
Looking forward to seeing some old and new faces this season.
Good luck to all of the last minute off-season preppers, I’m right there with you!
