Jeff, did your wife get a picture and or an autograph? Let me know if she did not and I will take care of it for her. We are working on a few other things for this year and I will keep you guys informed.

Marlon,

Unfortunately, no. We slid down to his trailer while you were delivering brownies and got this shot, but there was no time for autographs as he was off to the driver's meeting. Maybe next time...

^Oh man, too bad you didn't get to meet him. We went down to Hypersport to introduce him to our new Crew Chief and his family. Patrick drove for us at the 6 hr VIR race last year...I was a little surprised that he remembered me. Here are some pics I got of him when I was down visiting their pit stall during the race and a few after the race:
















I posted them as clickable thumbnails so, feel free to download them if you want.

I just want to get my shout out to Marlon!!!

Thanks so much Bro!! I really appreciated the access and the help obtaining autographs for my panoramic photos!!

Sylvain and the Speedsource guys went out of their way to make sure I had everything signed and made sure we got shirts and hats!! Sylvain Tremblay is the MAN!! His entire staff and crew were so warm and welcoming!! When a tough as nail race car driver puts his arm around you, you know your not just another paddock hound. Thanks Sylvain!!!

Want to thank the Roar guys too!! Very generous with their time. When I was only able to get 3 of the drivers to sign my panoramic with the primary and secondary cars they were still accessible post race and made sure that Chip was able to sign the photo as well. Marlon you were a great help in getting these autographs as well!!

I was also able to get Stewart of the Sunlight Silver BMR car to sign as well. Also a nice guy and very excited to see the photo and sign it! Very friendly as well!!

Over all I had an extremely amazing time at the races!! Saturday and Sunday ROCKED!!

Oh yeah, a special thanks to Mike aka "Tireman"!! Thanks so much for the Pirelli hospitality passes!! That tent and flat panel LCD tv came in great during the hour and a half downpour!!!!!! Heck the BBQ and drinks were not half bad either!! Thanks Mike and Mary!!! It was great meeting you both!!

Thanks Jeff for all you did too!! Too bad Ra and Anthony bounced before I had a chance to say hey. Let me know when we are getting together for lunch or drive.

Again, Thanks Marlon!!!
God Bless Everyone!!

It is my pleasure, we try to get to everybody we can, but sometimes things get a bit crazy! All of the Mazda teams are great, the BMR guys are really nice as well, as I let them know that you guys would be coming by their paddock to visit.

The teams appreciate Mazda owners stopping by, this gets the drivers pumped up as well as the crew, they want to do well for us as wel as themselves! This is with every team that competes in any series.

Tri-Point, Tindol and Horton Motorsports, Mazda 6's to B-K Motorports and the ALMS P2 car to all of the MX-5 cup guys and gals, they appreciate our support! What Lauri and I try to do is get owners out to these events, where you can get up close and personal with the teams. The series that Mazda competes in, whether its the SWC, ALMS, MX-5 Cup, Grand Am or Koni Challenge, you can have the same access to all fo the teams.

We hope to see all of you again @ Mid-Ohio next month as Tindol Motorsports goes for their 3rd win in a row, as we try to catch Acura for the Manufacturers Championship, we're only 10 points back...

So whenever you see an event where Mazda is competing, go out and support them! As our teams have the best people and obviously the best cars!

Well...the only person that I never did hear back from now was Marlon and I'm assuming he really doesn't care. Marlon, if you object, off the pictures come. But here are pictures from Sat and Sun...255 in all. No pictures from the Sat race though...stupid rain.

Personal faves...
