For those that do not know me, my name is Lynsey Tilton. I will be doing my best to keep you up to date on what is happening in Ft. Wayne. I am orginally from San Diego where I was born and raised. I have been racing since I was 4 years old and I am now 25, so 21 years now. I started out on motorcycles, moved to BMX at age 6 where I was able to capture multiple National Championship and one World Championship. At 9 years old I moved to go-karts where I was a local and national champion, along with a factory driver for Alex Barron in 125 shifters at age of 15. When I was 17 years old (2004) I switched to Dirt Midgets with Arizona Midget Racing Association. I was rookie of the year and finished 3rd in points in my first full season of midgets.
I graduated high school in 2005 and moved out to Indianapolis to attend IUPUI (Indiana University Purdue University Indianapolis) for Mechanical Engineering Technologies. From 2005-2008 I ran Ford Focus/Midgets/Sprints Cars throughout the Midwest on pavement and dirt. In late 2008 my dad was dignoised with Leukemia (Been in recovery for 4 years now) but at that time I went to 600 uprights running for Jack Shipman. From there I started running 1000cc mini sprints with MMSA. I havent had the best of luck the last couple of years but looking forward to turning that around here at Ft. Wayne.
I have never ran Ft. Wayne or anything indoors so this will be a new experience. I do have a good crew under me which I am hoping will help me with the transition indoors. Joe Liguori and my dad will be wrenching on the car. Joe has multiple years of experience running midgets at Ft. Wayne so I am hoping his knowledge will help a lot. I will try and keep everyone up to date as much as possible
