no racing for awhile for me

I have made some big changes the last few weeks, giving up all my responsibilities at PMZ was a hard decision for me, but I just cant give the website my attention if I feel its going in a negative direction. While I may not agree with a lot of stuff that goes on what anyone does to make money to pay bills is not my business. condemning someone who doesn't share by beliefs and doesn't share my optimistic attitude is not something I am comfortable with. I don't mind sharing my opinions, I mind having someone tell me they are wrong. We are all entitled to our own opinion and if we were a little less judgemental of each other the world would be a better place.

The racing over in Qatar starts up again pretty soon, and Im excited about it because not only it Todd tuning over there but I found out the Billy Gibson is going over to drive and I am very excited for him. Billy will be stepping into the tuning duties at Mel bush Motorsports and Driver Tommy D'Aprile. Having Tommy and Billy together all year is awesome because they are 2 of my favorite people at the track.

I know some stuff is going to be announced soon that I am also excited about. Brad and I are planning to attend the Wyo Motorsports Tutterow Championship party on the 1st of Jan. that will be a ton of fun. Todd winning the championship was awesome. I am working on some cool stuff for some of my PR clients and will be posting more in the near future.

HOME sweet home again

Just as we were boarding in Orlando Brads phone rang and it was Jorgen Leanders, He and Ulf were flying out of Charlotte and needed someone to meet them and pick up stuff they were not taking home to sweden. so after we landed Brad hauled butt to the ticketing area where they were waiting with 2 boxes. oh its never dull when you hang with Brad.

Brad and I arrived home last night around 7 pm at he airport to a flat tire. We have a slow leak and 2 weeks ago Brad had another flat and didnt get it fixed. So yes that means no spare, we limped down to the gas station, only to find the air out of order. so limp to the next and 15 minutes later we had enough air to get us home.

We were met by 2 very excited kitty's they wanted some attention right away, It was about 10 and we were both tired so we went to sleep. this morning I need to track down the Wilson children who have our suitcase coming from Orlando. Roger went on the Palm beach so they brought it back. Once I have it I can start sorting thru my junk from PRI.

PRI on friday

Sitting in the Cafe area with Cary Goforth. Just posted the GTO that Dean drove last year on racing Junk and lowered the price if anyone wants a great car cmon this is a steal. This show is insane I saw the new Leanders 7 inch clutch and its off the hook. I have pictures to post this afternoon when I get back to the hotel.

OMG Thursday is over....

So for me Thursday at PRI has always been the day I play at the show. This one was no exception. I hung out with some of my friends and a couple of the teams I do some PR stuff for. The Goforths and Radford. Brad and I went to dinner with the guys from GRP Rods. Joe is my new best buddy. Thanks for the dinner, and then it was off to Bahama Breeze for awhile, before I ditched Brad and went over to Howl at the moon. WOWOWOWOWOW it was packed but I had so many people I knew over there. It was a ton of fun. Rebecca and Thomas Meyers, Frankie and Cindy Taylor and a little later I had the pleasure of seeing Dave Connelly I sure do hope he gets a sponsor, I love Dave and he is a really talented driver that has been bitten by the economy bug.

I saw Erica Enders, who came in with my buddy George and Jim Cunninham, and Jerry Haas. They made their way to a table inside Howl at the moon. others I saw of course Billy Gibson, and Aaron from Safety solutions, Steve Vick and his lovely girlfriend Jennifer Guenther were there. Jennifer tells me she is going to run Big Dog next year in Steves old corvete. a girl driver in Big Dog its about time. ok its now time for to get off the computer and head to the show. I will update from there and take some pictures of all the fun stuff.

PRI and the road that leads there

So every year I look forward to going to Orlando,and enjoying the company of my racing friends away from the track. PRI is all about racing and the latest and greatest Innovations. Brad and I have gone for the past 4 years. the first year we went I had no idea what anything was, I have learned a few things since then. I cannot wait to see the Ford display and all the new stuff they have going after hearing so much about it from my buddy George. I look forward to seeing the new Leanders clutch. Brad is slowly teaching me about parts. I have a pretty good understanding of engines but the Clutch and converters and transmissions are my next thing to learn about.

The other thing I am excited about is the safety side. ISP and Safety Solutions have teamed up in a booth and I hope everyone checks out the poured seat and newest safety innovations. I am really looking forward to the ADRL banquet on Saturday night, even though I have to wear a dress. Being able to see everyone all dressed up is actually fun. So once a year I dont mind the dress and getting Brad in a suit coat, well what woman does not like her man all dressed up.

We fly at 9:30 in the morning get in at 11:00 and get our rental car, then I need to track down Roger Richards who kindly transported my suitcase down for me and get my luggage then off to whatever party we can find. I dont drink, but Brad is looking forward to kicking back a few beers with his new buddy Billy Gibson and a few others, I am hoping to get some quality time in the HOT TUB!!!
