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!
