I knew I could count on you Mark, an IHOP.
NOTE: If anyone else is going to join our road trip be advised that it is strongly recommended that you book a golf cart to get around the track ( It's a huge area to navigate ). You can book your own golf cart here http://www.midfloridagolfcars.com/ .

Default THIRD Penske Porsche added to Race

Two more of racing's biggest names will take part in this year's Petit Le Mans powered by the Totally New Mazda6 with the entry of a third Penske Porsche RS Spyder for former works driver Ryan Briscoe and two-time Indianapolis 500 winner Helio Castroneves ( you're going to have to do your photog magic Dave and seek him out for a pic for my wife, like your luck with Danica Patrick ). The pair will race the No. 5 Penske Motorsports entry October 4 in the annual 1,000-mile/10-hour endurance classic that is the cornerstone event of the American Le Mans Series.

Was by their shop today. Intersport's Shop is 1 minute from our millwork facility. Clint bought the interior trim package for his new house from us.

Not doing too bad for an independent team from Dublin, Ohio. By the way, I need to go pickup Mike Raggdoll some of the Intersport Stickers.

Go ahead and put that Photo Op ( Helio Castroneves) pressure on me. I'll see what I can do.

Man she was in fine form that weekend! Defintely high maintenance and probably more trouble than its worth, after all fantasies are free.

Cadillac Tech

We will be there. This will be our 8th Petit and 3rd race this year (Sebring,Mid-Ohio and Petit). We will leave Indy on Wednesday morning and get to the track on Thursday. Petit is always a great race and this year should be one of the best. Looking forward to seeing everyone in the corral.

Reminder to all!

Johnny O once again will be putting on his charity auction. It will be Friday night at 6:15 PM and will be down in the main paddock at the winners podium.

Lots of teams will be bringing gear, parts, all sorts of stuff. Johnny will have all kinds of cool things that will make it a fun event.

Help support the Alzheimer's Association.
