I try to always have some fun so while flying I made a fun picture of our mascot going crazy in Vegas.
This year, the show was very enjoyable. While I am working my tail off trying to secure the support for a FormulaD season, I am strongly backed by so many that my task has shrunk. I actually felt like I was forgetting something after feeling like I could relax on day 2, when I used to be full steam ahead until close of the third day.
The impossible task of looking for financial support proved just that, impossible. I knew going in that money was unlikely, but I also know that my season depends on it. We are hoping to find a non-endemic (non-automotive) brand to take the title position on the car for 2013.
Maybe someone in my network has a connection to a possible title partner for us in 2013. Besides budgeting, another main focus was suspension, as we are 3 years running on our coilovers, and 6 years on some of the control arms!! Various other potential partners were talked with and I hope to have some on-board for the PRI show in 2 weeks.
A couple of awesome surprises were instore for us at SEMA. 2 different booths had used a picture of our car on promotional/published items.

I got to spend a day in LA with a friend after the show. It was awesome getting to see some west coast lifestyle. I have been to Cali 4 times now, but always for racing or family functions and never got to really see anything. I fulfilled my inner tourist with a lunch at Pink’s (we will be back again!), cruised through some famous neighborhoods, saw the Hollywood sign, and walked down Venice Beach shops. I even saw where Marty first went back in time! I can’t wait to visit other stops on the FD circuit and see some of the culture there.
I know this season will be a challenge both on and off the track, but I think it will be the most enjoyable yet, just have to find the help we need! Please reach out in your network, we can’t do this alone!
