Hey everyone! While it's been awhile between posts, I've been busy! The work on finding the budget for my Indy Lights program is non-stop and we're getting closer. I'm expecting to have a number of sponsorship related meetings around the IRL race at Chicagoland Speedway at the end of the month.
In the meantime, I've been busy coaching. I worked with Speed World Challenge GT driver Tim McKenzie in his Porsche. With all the work I've been doing with Eurosport lately and with Porsches in particular, they asked me to lend a hand to Tim in preparation for the Autobahn Grand Prix last weekend since Eurosport was supporting Tim for the weekend. Now, while Tim was, I believe 2nd quickest in the early practice, he got caught up with another driver relatively early in the race and didn't finish. Unfortunately, that likely ends Tim's season. Hopefully he'll be back soon.
The better news from that same weekend though is that I did some coaching for a friend of mine from my Bondurant days, Andy Lee in the Volkswagen TDI Cup series. Both Andy's and my efforts were well rewarded as Andy scored pole and the race win in his first ever visit to the Autobahn Country Club. Hopefully, this helps propel Andy in his efforts to secure the funding he needs to continue. He's a talented guy, and I wish the best for him, and possibly we'll be working together more in the future.
Well, that's about it for now, but there's some very interesting things I'm working on but aren't quite to the point where I can share them yet. But stay tuned, I'll keep you posted! See you soon!
