For the past 5 years Doug has progressed from Autocross to Time Trialing, and eventually Wheel to Wheel racing. Most of the racing has been on West Coast venues such as Laguna Seca, Willow Springs, Button Willow, Las Vegas, Pomona, and the LA Grand Prix. Future goals for Doug include a SCCA National, World Sport Challenge, or Speedvision Cup Tour. Many thanks go to Doug Hayashi, Wayne Mello, and Jeff Littrel who make racing fun and competitive.
