Then finally, he adds, “my family,
my uncle, Jason, and my dad, Jeff,
for without them and their uncle,
the late Norm Nelson, I would not
have fallen in love with the sport
I love so dearly. I would have also
never learned that the people behind
the scenes are having fun, too.”
Away from his track duties, Andrew
exhibits the same kind of enthusiasm
for River Hawk Racing, the Formula
SAE team of UMass Lowell’s SAE
chapter, which he joined last year as
a UMass freshman. “Our challenge
every year is to raise enough money
to design and build the best possible
autocross car we can,” he says.
“We are required to build a new
chassis every year. The point of the
challenge is to be a practical exercise
in engineering a car and taking
what we are learning in lectures
and putting it to practical use.”
Long term, Andrew says, he would
like to earn his competition license
and also have the opportunity to
work events such as the Le Mans
and Daytona 24 hours and the
Sebring 12 hours. He also has his
eye on becoming a data engineer.
Andrew has indeed grown up in
NER, observes Barnes, a longtime NER
member and official, former SCCA
Board of Directors member and Solo
Events Board chair, and a multi-time
Solo National Champion. “I enjoy how
he is finding different parts of the Club
and sharing them,” she says. “from
autocross and Track Night in America
with his FSAE group, to suggestions
for Race Against Leukemia weekend
for the (NER) Board, and also
bringing a new energy to flagging
at all the tracks in the Region.”
