Racing, Thanksgiving and Life on the Road

November is shaping up to be a busy month for the Giumarra family, but that's nothing out of the ordinary for us. Between racing, work, travel, Thanksgiving and quality family time, we will be spending plenty of days on the road. Thankfully, our Entegra Coach Accolade XL 37M is ready for every mile, making it easy to chase our goals, enjoy time together and embrace the adventure along the way.
The first week of November, I’ll be heading to Las Vegas for a major karting event. This trip is focused more on work, as I’ll be supporting several of my Driver Fitness coaching clients while spending time at the track doing what I love. Not long after that, we’ll be turning right around and heading back to Las Vegas for the biggest race of the year, the 2026 SKUSA SuperNationals at Las Vegas Motor Speedway.
This trip is a little different because I’ll be the one behind the wheel. I’ve spent months preparing for this event and am excited to race with Factory Karts USA once again. From training and testing to fitness and maximizing every opportunity for seat time, a lot of work has gone into getting ready for this moment. Now, after all the preparation, it’s finally time to put it all together and go racing.
The Accolade will be parked right in the heart of Las Vegas Motor Speedway for race week, and having our home on wheels at the track makes life so much easier. Race weeks are busy, so before we leave, we’ll prep meals and stock the freezer. That way, after a long day at the track, I can come back to the RV, enjoy a good meal, get some work done, check in with coaching clients and get some much-needed rest.
One of my favorite things about traveling in the Accolade is that it allows me to maintain my normal routine while on the road. I can stay on top of my businesses, eat the way I want and have everything I need right there with me. Just because I’m traveling doesn’t mean the rest of life has to pause.



Once SuperNats wraps up, we’ll head home and shift gears for one of my favorite family traditions of the year: Thanksgiving at the Kern River. Every year, we spend the week in Kernville, California, celebrating with family and enjoying time outdoors. We set up camp in our usual spot, and before long, other family members arrive with their rigs to join us.
There’s something special about settling in for the week, preparing for Thanksgiving and simply enjoying time together. The dogs love having room to roam, my wife loves the slower pace, and Shaina always looks forward to the trip. It’s a tradition that brings us together year after year and one we all look forward to.
And Thanksgiving dinner is no joke. We cook two turkeys, one in the air fryer and one in the slow cooker, along with all the traditional sides that make the holiday special. The Accolade’s large refrigerator definitely earns its keep during this trip, holding everything we need for a full Thanksgiving feast.
One of my favorite parts of the week actually comes after Thanksgiving. Every year, Kernville hosts its Christmas tree lighting, and we make sure to be there for it. It feels like the perfect transition from Thanksgiving to the holiday season. What starts as a week of family, great food and time at the river ends with Christmas officially kicking off, and it’s become a tradition we look forward to year after year.
That pretty much sums up November in our world. One week, the Accolade is parked at Las Vegas Motor Speedway while I’m competing at SuperNats. The next, we’re camped along the Kern River, cooking Thanksgiving dinner and making memories with family and our dogs. That’s what I love most about the RV lifestyle. It allows us to chase our passions, stay connected and spend quality time together, all from the comfort of our home on wheels.
And don’t even get me started on December. We already have another RV trip planned, the snow is on its way and snowboard season is right around the corner. But first, we’re looking forward to an incredible November filled with racing, family traditions and plenty of miles on the road. Honestly, I wouldn’t want it any other way.
