Racing and racing people…

This is a story about racing, it’s something that’s important to me and also something I think I’m pretty good at. I think I’ve proven that, and in a sport where experience is huge, I’ve got a shed load of that. And not just because I’m old either.

As much fun as getting into a race car is, it’s second to the people with in the sport. Some of my closest friendships were forged, at least in part by sharing race cars, hotels and dinners at events all over the world.

The industrial wasteland in Snoqualme

This weekend a number of my friends are hanging out just outside Seattle and invited me along for the weekend. Unfortunately I am only able to go after work today, but it was fun catching up and watching a couple of hours of head-to-head car racing in Snoqualme (or Snowquamy as ESPN had it on their website this morning).

The racing was close and very entertaining, but it’s the people, my friends that make racing so special. One thing I got today, I’ve co-driven for a lot of people, there were four of my ex-drivers there today. It was fun to catch up over dinner and a couple of drinks afterwards. Oregon Trail Rally is only 4 weeks away, I believe I will be there too.
