Testimonials

“After watching Taylor this past season in his rookie season in F1200 we were anxious to see how he would perform in our teams Formula Ford’s. There really was no surprise as he adapted well and by day’s end was right on pace. I think he could be a contender for podiums during the season and contend for Rookie of the Year as BGR/TLM goes for that honor for the 5th straight year.” – Brian Graham, Owner Brian Graham Racing

“Taylor is an intelligent, capable, dedicated, and personable young man. He is always quick behind the wheel, with sensible reactions in all the circumstances I’ve seen him in. I feel confident in saying that he is capable of whatever auto racing opportunity he pursues and can handling any new driving situation with thoughtfulness and maturity.” – David Matkovich, Director of Driver Development TLM Racing
