Your service helps protect the freedoms we cherish. You will be deeply missed at our upcoming races, and we look forward to your safe return—and to sharing many more desert miles together as service members, friends, and HAR teammates.

Inside NORRA #355

Driver & navigator lineups

Two experienced pairings, one engineering-first approach to desert endurance racing.

Driver / Navigator 1

Mike Josi & Josh Weissman

Team Owner / Driver

Mike "T.C." Josi

Mike is an engineer, entrepreneur, and lifelong racer whose professional career centers on building high-performance systems—whether in technology or motorsports.

As owner of High Altitude Racing, Mike brings decades of competitive racing and mechanical experience to vehicle development, fabrication, race strategy, and driving.

Racing background

10 years in the Swiss National Karting Circuit
3 years of BMW M3 road racing
6 years of sanctioned Swiss motorcycle road racing on a Suzuki GSX-R 750
Decades of road cycling, gravel racing, and mountain bike competition
Head mechanic and technical lead across karting, motorcycle, automotive, and off-road programs

Mike’s background designing and operating large-scale technology systems—where performance, reliability, and precision are critical—is reflected throughout the HAR program.

Navigator / In-Car Mechanic

Josh Weissman

Josh has spent his life riding and exploring the deserts of the American Southwest, developing an instinctive feel for terrain, navigation, and race strategy.

In the car, he does far more than call directions. Josh reads the terrain, monitors race conditions, assists with vehicle diagnostics, and helps the driver make split-second decisions under extreme conditions.

His skill and experience have helped guide High Altitude Racing to multiple NORRA podium finishes.

Driver / Navigator 2

Brian Crouch & Tyler Crouch

Co-Driver

Brian Crouch

Brian Crouch is a veteran racer, fabricator, and retired public utility professional whose motorsports career spans more than 50 years. His welding, fabrication, crew leadership, and mechanical knowledge make him an invaluable part of HAR.

Brian’s calm demeanor, mechanical expertise, and race-day experience make him a trusted co-driver for NORRA #355.

Navigator / In-Car Mechanic

Tyler Crouch

This is Tyler’s debut as navigator for team #355. Serving alongside Brian, he helps the team read the course, anticipate changing terrain, and maintain a fast, sustainable race pace.

From route awareness to in-car communication and mechanical observation, Tyler supports the decisions that keep #355 moving safely and efficiently through the desert.

His role alongside Brian strengthens High Altitude Racing’s preparation, teamwork, and race-day execution.
