As luck would have it, we’ve got 3-5 corporate sponsorship balls in the air but none that look as though they’re going to drop in time for th 8.6.09 departure for practice. This is a big bummer as we’re out there with all we’ve got and neither strategic partner in this joint venture has experienced failure in meeting a goal yet. While the orchestra is still playing, we’re getting nervous that we’ll be forced to either deficit spend like our illustrious political leaders or simply withdraw.

“Sometimes, you just have to say…..What The #@$K!”
Risk Business - 1983.
So we have a vision, can see the path, have all the players and a chance to make a huge impact on the world we live in. It all seems so easy, that is, until you try to build momentum from a standstill. Young and foolish, we’ve dropped our shoulders and started pushing.
Two days ago, Guardian Angel Motorsports and Team Polizei 144 announced our joint effort in supporting www.love146.org in their charitable fund raising efforts. Implicit in that is for us to enter the venerable car #63 in the Rolex GT race, August 7, 2009 at Watkins Glen International. Continue reading ‘Wow….Heavy Lifting…’
me and all my friends
we’re all misunderstood
they say we stand for nothing and
there’s no way we ever could
now we see everything that’s going wrong
with the world and those who lead it
we just feel like we don’t have the means
to rise above and beat it…
Waiting On The World To Change

I HATE waiting.
Economics have been sordid for the past 8 months. People, companies, charities and portfolio values are dropping like flies. We’ve been listening & watching the race scene intently as team after team has struggled with finances to continue it’s journey in the sport.
It’s such a major issue that CNBC has focused several expose features on it entitled INSIDE TRACK: Refueling the Business of NASCAR. The essence of the issue is that companies are finding it more and more difficult to measure the return they are receiving for their substantial investments. Given that ‘Bling’ is so two thousand and LATE these days, if you can’t justify it, you’d better not be spending it.

Henri Richards new acquisition - The Porsche GT3 Cup
It’s been 6 LONG months since Guardian Angel Motorsports finished the Rolex24hr at Daytona and not a day goes by when I don’t think about what a phenomenal experience it was or how to ensure that it happens again in 2010.
It is also the last professional race I’ve done. My races year to date have been fleeting. A May SCCA National, a Porsche Club Race; a June 12hr SCCA endurance race and July has brought a Regional SCCA race…..in other words, i’m ITCHING to try my hand at another professional race.
This week I received a call from a new racing friend asking if I’d be interested in teaming with him in August 7th’s Grand Am race at Watkins Glen. Yup was the answer in case you couldn’t have guessed.
