I have arrived for the weekend in Irwindale, California. There is a short track here that will host a couple of all star races in late models. I think these are cars that look kinda like cup cars, but are flatter. I'm happy to be working, but I don't really know much about this series. The weather outside is nice! Inside the truck is dark and 65 degrees. That's the update.
Only 4 days until I head out to Daytona for SpeedWeeks!

MMX...2010
This year is perhaps the coolest Roman numeral year so far...MMX!
So, we're back at it. I am in Daytona for FanFest. FanFest is a made up NASCAR holiday that brings a handful of the drivers down to do some press junkets, meet and greet with some fans and kiss babies. There are no race cars, engines, fuel or anything truly mechanically related happening. Just smiles and pressing flesh. Our shows air on SPEED on Friday and Saturday. We'll have a couple of sets that drivers will come to and we'll talk with them about the upcoming season and such. At least it's pretty warm here. Currently the temperature is 65 degrees and it's sunny. Yippee!
While it's still the off season, I have some more basketball and hockey happening. We also are going to Irwindale, CA at the end of the month for a Toyota Challenge race, which I think is a late model stock car race. We'll see. Southern Cal in January is great with me no matter what they're racing.
I do have an interesting proposition in front of me that I am going to jump at if it truly comes to fruition. Our Australian houseguest who lived with us for two years has joined up with a few other gentlemen who are also in the construction business. They are gathering funding to travel to foreign countries, ie Kazakhstan, and build schools, houses, community centers. They want to hire me to go with them and video tape their adventures and then edit them for distribution. It is still in an infancy stage, but if it happens, I would love to travel internationally and still have more time at home. Don't get me wrong...I am not leaving my NASCAR job until this new one is secure for at least one year. I need that kind of stability. They say the pay will be amazing, so I am looking forward to it. I'll keep you updated!
From sunny Florida...have a great day!
