The New Orleans native Brad Adams will be joining Atlanta Motorsports Group for the 2012 season in a 2012 Ford Mustang competing in the SCCA World-Challenge Series.  This will be Brads third year competing in the World-Challenge series.

 

 

First Race:  2004 Panoz Racing Series, Barber Motorsports, Birmingham, AL
Daily Driver: Aston Martin Vanquish
Favorite TV Show: Speed TV
Racing Heroes: Carroll Shelby, Sterling Moss
Favorite Food: Italian
Favorite Track: Sebring  International Raceway
Interest/Hobbies:  Collecting art, antiques cars and wine; restoring antique wooden boats; long distance cycling and spinning and of course racing.

Brad got started in racing on a spur of the moment in 2004 when he meet Tracy and Susan Krohn at a political fundraiser in New Orleans, Louisiana.

Brad Stated: During the cocktail conversation, I inquired of Tracy about places he may know about that teach you how to drive a race car. Tracy informed me that he was hosting a corporate school starting the very next morning, and the plane was leaving at 5:00 a.m. I told Tracy that I needed to check my calendar, glanced at my watch and immediately stated “I’m all in.”
We traveled to Sebring to the Panoz Racing School where I was introduced to Lisa Kay Golde, Joe Foster, Charles Espenlaub, Charlie Putnam, Eric Foss, Doug Smith, Andy Lally, Andrew Davis, James Gue, Nic Jonson, Beaux Barfield, Richard “Ebb”  Watson, Richard Picut and many other instructors.  I completed the racing school, the lapping days and joined the racing series sometime thereafter.  Unfortunately, the Panoz Racing Series no longer exists; however, I’ve made numerous friends over the years through my racing endeavors.  I have Tracy and the Panoz group to thank for the now acquired expensive, wonderful and exciting addiction that we all have.
