| | Career Summary | This is my 12th (and last) year racing Soap Box Derby and my first year racing Hornets. My family got to know the Kosiski's through racing Soapbox and last year at the Nationals I got to talking with Ed about his idea to start up the Hornets. I discussed it with Dad -- Of course he said yes: who could turn down an excuse to buy a bigger trailer and more tools. Then I left it to Ed to convince my mom (THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!) and here I am: starting my racing career.
