congrats Jeff cant wait to meet and compete, gonna be a fun day

Congrats Jeff, give them h*ll, if you need help with anything give me a call.

Thanks everybody and especially thanks to Scott for thinking enough of me and my car to choose me to represent Lateral-G. I have been PM ing and talking to Scott since yesterday morning and have had a lot of deep thought about whether to accept or to have him move on to Carl or Gaetano. Either would have done him proud. I only hope that I can fill the shoes.

I need to get my head into the autocross and speed stop challenge. At Road America (my home track) I was able to place 5th in the road course behind Kyle Tucker, Ryan Matthews, Brian Finch and Jeff Schwartz. Stielow, Finch, Tucker and I am sure numerous others that I am not thinking of, will be tough. It is an honor just to be selected.

Todd, I hope I don't need the tools or shop space, but I will be sure to take you up on it if I do.

The 2nd toughest part of the decision was how to get the car out there. Telly V has access to a two car trailer and can haul mine with his, but it is not enclosed. I am still open to suggestions regarding enclosed transport from Wisconsin or the Chicago area to and from Vegas as I do not have the time available to me to trailer it out and back myself. If anyone has any reasonably priced options for me, please PM me.

Spending the money on transport, hotel, airfare, etc. was a tough sale with the wife. She is being a good sport, but I am sure I am going to hear about if for three weeks before I go. I am sure I will have to do a bunch of a$$ kissing up until and after I am back.

Thanks again, and I will try not to disappoint! :cheers:

Congrats Jeff! Go represent Lat-G for us. Great choice Scott :thumbsup:

Great job Scott, I know that was a tough decision.


Jeff, congrats, I know you will go out there and rip it up. Put some rubber down for us....wait, that sounds weird but you know what I mean.

Jeff,

What are the specs on the car? I would have check PT,com, but the site is down right now.

Congratulations on the invite. I can't wait to see it at the track.

Congrats on the selection.....can you make sure to run one of those nifty in- car camera setups so chumps like me can feel like we were there?

Have fun:lateral:

Jeff, just before you got picked I had finally sold it to the wife. Even with the backing of other members she still wasn't buying it because I had to take a week off work.

It finally boiled down to letting her buy a tread mill and a Disneyland vacation for the family, LOL.

Good luck with the wife thing I know what your going through and secondly good luck on the transport.:thumbsup:

Good Luck Jeff. The best part about this community is there was no wrong answer here. I would have had no issue supporting any of the guys mentioned for the invite. The members here that are willing to sponsor the Lateral-G representative should be applauded!:hail: I spent a lot of years fielding oval track stock cars and could not have done it without great sponsors. In today's economy they are very hard to come by. You guys are top notch.

Scott, you should be very proud of what you have started here! I have never been involved in anything that has this many people with a common interest that come together for each other so often. Again :hail: !

Keep us posted on the progress Jeff. We're pulling for yah!
