Noah began racing go-karts when he was just six years old. Noah has traveled to other states to race, win, and finish in the top
five, an impressive accomplishment for anyone but especially for a young driver. He now races a 1934 Ford Legends Coupe, a car that weighs 1,000 pounds and goes faster than 100 miles per hour. Noah regularly competes against drivers who are three times older than he is, but he does not let that intimidate him. He explained in one news article, "I have been racing against older people all my life. When you strap on a helmet, you are no longer a 13-year-old kid, you are a racecar driver.

He has the nickname "Little Gator" partly because of his size and partly because of Gatorland's sponsorship over the last several years.

The admonishment that no man should travel alone when the temperature is 60 degrees below zero from the old timers was shown to be true in this man's case since he fell through the ice and wet his feet and legs and depended on lighting and keeping a fire going himself. It turned out that nature in these conditions can be totally unforgiving.
