A Bit About Me
My name is Hudson Hidalgo, and I reside in Los Angeles, CA, with my family and my two cats, Senna and Ollie. I race under the number 131, and this year marks my rookie season in the Mini Swift category. I'm thrilled to take on this new challenge and compete against a highly competitive group of drivers. My goals for the year include working diligently to enhance my lap times and striving to keep pace with the frontrunners. I'm also eager to participate in some national events across the United States and, if possible, take on an international circuit this year.
