Tim Day
Tim is a business/real estate entrepreneur in Scottsdale, AZ, and a long time exotic and high performance car aficionado. After years of participating in spirited Ferrari club drives, a variety of track events and high performance driving schools, Tim decided it was time to take things to the next level. After Tim’s initial track day driving the Radical, he had this to say: “Driving a Radical is a tremendous thrill, the car is incredibly fast, and corners beautifully. The car is well balanced and forgiving, thus, easily giving you the confidence to over take more experienced drivers. My goal this year is to drive my SR3 at speed at a number of different tracks events, and to learn the car’s capabilities. Now that I have joined the Radical West Team, 2004 looks like its going to be a lot of fun.”
