Hey everyone, hows it going?
Sorry I'v been lagging on updating this I'v just been trying to get our game plan all figured out for next years season so I don't give out any inaccurate information.
Most of you may already know, but I blew up my car at the last race at Infineon on September 29th.
This was a huge bummer and was just a result of several contributing factors and not having the proper monitoring gauges to tell me what the car was doing. So after the last race we sat down and brainstormed what route would be best for us to go and established our new plan for the 2013 season.
At first we were talking about selling the car and going a different route such as the Porsche Cup series, formula Mazda series and even a legends car was taken into consideration. We explored each idea to there fullest extent but ended up concluding that putting my GSX back together and building it the right way now that we know what all the week links are will make for a highly competitive car next season. Iv been doing a lot of thinking and I believe if I am just able to further showcase my skills on the track next season there is no reason I can't go on to obtain further and bigger sponsorship opportunities for the following season. We had our share of issues with the car this year, but when it ran right it was rediculous, so I know with the proper attention in the correct areas we should have no problem refining the car into a championship contending machine.
I know the Porsche would have been awesome to get into next year, but the fact is that it would be a ridiculous amount of money just to even properly equip the car with my controls, let alone to do a full season in it. I would end up going through three times the amount tires, fuel, brakes and just all the othe regular maintence expenses so we decided another season at attempting to win a NASA ST2 championship isn't a bad idea.
I talked to the guys at TruSpeed last week and there's still the option of eventually transition into running with them next season, but for now that plan has been put on hold.
I have been talking to a new shop called Borelli Motorsports in Fremont about what all is left that needs to be finished on the car and they sound way enthusiastic about helping out so thats great!
I'm working on getting a few more details all worked out with sponsors and such but the plan is to hopefully drop the car off to them either this week or next and get the ball rolling on getting that thing ready for next season. They are going to completely tear the car down for a 100point inspection and then we will determine what else we need and don't need to finish building a legit reliable race car to drive.
The positive side about staying with my car also is that there is nothing else needed in order to set it all up with my hand controls because it already has the tranny we need for them to work.
These are the new conceptual designs of my controls that i hope to have cut out within a month or so...
Borelli's is a full 1 stop race shop, so they will be able to do my suspension setup, cage fabrication, dyno tuning and as well as offer track side support if I need it.
I am actively seeking support in any form for this coming up 2013 season and have just completed me new Sponsorship Proposal and Resume. If you or anyone you may know might possibly be interested in helping me obtain my goals in this up and coming season, you can email me at walkbdk777@yahoo.com and I will send you a copy of my current resume and sponsorship proposal. I do have a tax ID for donations and any form of contribution, support and encouragement is greatly appreciated!
Thank you all for your continued support throughout this following season and I can't wait to see what next year has in store!
I hope everyone has a great weekend and God Bless!
...Keep Em Spinnin...
AHuge Thank You Especially Goes Out To Perfect Harvest! None of this would be possible without your help and I cant thank you enough!
