THE MAN, THE MYTH ...

On a previous blog, I wrote about a friend of mine, Benedict Jones, who will spearhead the efforts to assemble the equipment and the team of four handicapped drivers for the races we have committed in 2009. We met last night at the Café at Barnes & Noble in Aliso Viejo in what turned out to be a very short and productive meeting of the minds. We’ve established a task list that we will try to pick off one at a time leading up to the races. As a guideline, the following tasks were included on our to do list:

1. Source the equipment
   
2. Build the equipment
   
3. Select Drivers
   
4. Select Mechanics
   
5. Practice and Train
   
6. Develop the logistics for the events
7. Source sponsors (Ongoing activity)

As an update, I have already found a source for a Miata that costs under $500 – however seemingly impossible that feat is. I personally didn't think that could be done, so we'll have to wait and see. A disclosure of the specifics will be made once the car has actually been secured.
 
There was another decision that was made at the meeting. Since Benedict is a certified gear head and someone who hailed originally from Indianapolis with just the right connections, an invitation was personally extended to me to join him and his family to be a spectator of the “Greatest Spectacle in Racing” - the Indianapolis 500 – scheduled for the 24th of May 2009. The answer was a qualified yes as I saw it as yet another opportunity to polish my sports-casting chops.
 
Moreover, to liven up our web blog, future posts will also feature Benedict as a contributor. He is a passionate motorsports enthusiast and an all around great guy. We welcome his thoughts and contributions to our web blog and to our future endeavors.
