Not just a car. A rolling conversation starter about PTSD, resilience, and what it takes to step out of the fire with purpose.
Every livery line, every sticker, every mile is designed to spark a human conversation: How are you, really? Kaida shows up at tracks, meets, and community events to raise awareness, fund mental health initiatives, and build a tribe that looks out for one another.
Six moments that define what Kaida is and why she exists.
Kaida’s story begins with numerology. Her badge number — 47477 — carried meanings of transformation, endurance, and purpose. That sequence led us to Kaida, a Japanese name meaning “little dragon.” It honors heritage while reminding us that even in the ashes, new strength can emerge.
Kaida’s design will carry the weight of trauma and survival. Early ideas of a vest motif have grown into imagery like the battlefield cross, a timeless symbol of sacrifice. Heavy textures and dark accents will represent the reality of PTSD, while the slogan "Still Fighting. Still Here.” reminds us of resilience.
Kaida isn’t just a performance car. She’s therapy on wheels — a marketing masterpiece that takes the track, the paddock, and the streets and turns them into spaces for hard conversations. Driving her keeps me grounded, but more than that, she carries a message for everyone still fighting their own battles.
Wherever Kaida shows up — a track day, a car meet, or a community event — her mission is simple: spark one more real check‑in. How are you, really? She exists to break the silence, to open doors, and to remind us that awareness begins with a conversation.
Kaida will be present wherever conversations are needed most: trackside, at veteran events, at mental health programs, or in a school parking lot. Each appearance is a chance to put the mission on display and invite others into it.
Every mile Kaida runs feeds back into Campfire Garage — from funding ecotherapy projects to supporting outreach for veterans and first responders. Her journey is measured not in lap times but in lives touched, resources shared, and hope carried forward.
Follow the journey from stock to storycar, on track and in the community.
October 13, 2025 — My first event in full form. Eric and I rolled in with nerves, hope, and a story to tell. The competition was tough, the conversations even tougher. But together we found our rhythm — and the gold to prove it. More important than trophies, though, were the moments spent talking about why I exist in the first place. Sparks of connection, born from speed and purpose. Watch for my story soon.
