My name is Adrian, and I’m a 22-year-old active duty member of the Navy with a lifelong dream of becoming a race car driver and building my own team. For the past three years, I’ve poured my heart into creating a team that not only competes but also supports each other like family. We started with go-karting, making the most of what little we had, and thanks to the encouragement of friends and supporters, we’ve made real progress. But as we aim higher this year, the financial challenges have grown. Living off a tight budget and military pay, it’s been tough to provide my crew with the basics they need to develop and succeed. My co-founder and I know firsthand the thrill and lessons that come from being on the track, and I want my drivers and crew to experience that same rush and sense of accomplishment.

I hope to raise enough to provide my team with essential safety equipment—fire suits, helmets, gloves, and shoes—so everyone can compete safely and confidently. The funds will also help us create merchandise for our supporters, which will not only build team spirit but also help us raise more for the future. I want to give back to my sponsor, a small food cart owner who’s always believed in us, and help her business grow as well. My dream is to pay it forward, supporting local charities and building a stronger motorsports community for everyone.

Just being able to raise enough money for my business could greatly help me provide for my drivers so they can have a great experience in the world of motorsport like I have. It will help me and my co-founder build our foundation even more. Right now, we mostly do electric go-karting and have experimented with gas-powered karts, but with more support, we want to return to racing on dirt or asphalt like we used to. This way, we can pass on our knowledge to our drivers and pit crew, and continue to grow as a team.

I want everyone to know that this money is not just for my own personal use. To prove our progress and transparency, I regularly post updates about our business and racing journey on Instagram at @medaily45, so supporters can follow along and see how their contributions are making a difference.
