Independent Banker - April 2024 - 76

OUT OF OFFICE
As a race car driver,
Ashley Burt competes
in about 32 races
every year.
Ashley Burt: Behind the wheel
The CEO and president of $230 million-asset Gunnison Bank and Trust Company
in Gunnison, Colo., likes to live life in the fast lane as a race car driver.
I started [racing] in 2008 ... I drive
in a sanctioning body called National
Auto Sport Association (NASA). I
drive in a class called Spec Z that is a
Nissan-supported Spec class where we
race modified Nissan 350Zs. We strip
them back to the tub and put in race
suspensions ... It's quite a bit lighter
than the original car.
We race on road circuits,
predominantly in Colorado but also all
over the country and at a lot of famous
tracks and places. ... A race season
runs from about April to the end of
October. During that period I do about
32 races a year, usually eight weekends
with four races a weekend. It's a series,
so I do all the races in the series and
try to beat all my buddies!
I've wanted to do this since I was
a little kid, playing with Matchbox
[cars]. I finally got the opportunity to
get involved when I was a bit older. ...
I knew a few people that did it, and I
went to the racetrack one weekend and
just started meeting people and hearing
about the sanctioning body.
[Racing] teaches you a lot about life.
It teaches you how to deal with the highs
and lows-racing delivers plenty of
those-how to stay calm under pressure,
how to work with and compete with
people you might find challenging. It's
a really good metaphor for life, and it's
not just gas and throttle.
