What are your favorite hobbies outside of racing?

My number one hobby would be R/C racing. I’ve been R/C racing in Barre since I was six. Most recently I’ve been running CoT, which is the cars with the 4th-gen body that they raced in NASCAR. They’re 1/12-scale cars. Other than that, I pretty much just work on cars all day when I’m not actually working.
