After many years of participating in trackdays, Drew finally made the leap into roadracing.  His first race was in the RACE Superseries back in 2004.  He competed in two races that season and managed a Top 15 and a Top 10 respectively.  In 2009, after 5 years away from the track for work reasons, Drew was back to racing.  He participated in SOAR’s Rookie Cup and won the 1st and 3rd Rounds. At the end of the season, after being crashed into during the final race, Drew was the Rookie Cup Runner-Up by 2 points.

In 2010, Drew was back at SOAR with intentions of winning the Old Boy’s Cup, where all participants must be 40 or older.  After a crash in Round 1 and missing Rounds 2 & 3, the season seemed finished with only 3 Rounds remaining.  At Round 4, Drew found his groove again and pulled out a 3rd Place finish, back on the podium.  In Round 5, Drew almost found his way to the top of the box, finishing in 2nd Place by less than a second.  The final Round of the season brought another 2nd Place finish.  After basically missing the first half of the season, Drew finished only 7 points behind 3rd Place in the Champonship.

In 2011, Drew had a very good season at SOAR, once again contesting for SOAR's Old Boys Cup.  Finishing in 3rd Place in the season opener was a decent beginning.  After a 5th in Round 2 due to a suspension issue, the season wasn't exactly starting out according to plan.  This was compounded by the fact that Round 3 would be missed due to a conflict with the CSBK National Superbike race the same weekend.  Coming into Round 4, Drew was sitting back in 5th place in the season's point standings.  With race wins at Rounds 4, 5 and 6, Drew shot up to the top of the standings but it would still only move him into 2nd Place Overall for the championship, a mere 3 points away from 1st.  A good season.

In 2012, Drew once again has his sights set on the Old Boy's Championship.  There are no conflicts with any other racing organizations for the 2012 season so no races will be missed this year...
