I'm an electronics engineer, and founder of a small company that makes scientific imaging cameras. That grew out of a personal interest in astronomy - got interested in the instrumentation and started making stuff. I have co-discovered 12 supernovas and 1 comet.
For letting off steam, I'm into racing cars. My current racecar is a Radical SR3 RS, which I run in some Canadian race series. I also do endurance racing in Lucky Dog series in Canada, and also the ChampCar series at US tracks. I'm a "pay driver", because I just buy a seat for the weekend. That said there are a couple of teams that I usually run with. These are typically 8 hour races with 2 hour stints, pit stops for refueling and driver changes, etc. I've done a couple of 24 hour races at VIR. If you've ever watched Le Mans it's pretty much the exact same thing but in much slower and cheaper cars LOL.
What do you do?
