Jeff's various MINIs have been Sponsored by Helix for years--not only is he a perennial threat at the highest levels of Autocross, he's genuinely a nice guy as well: always willing to show a novice the ropes. Recently three of my cousins from Sweden were visiting me, and I decided to introduce them to auto-x. Jeff was there and took time away from his preparation and competition to instruct them. He compromised three of his four runs to allow them to ride along, carrying ballast that certainly cost him several tenths per run. Allaround good guy.
