Greg’s right….
Well, except for that “better looking” comment. My picture looks like I just did a lap at Indy, but forgot to wear a helmet.
Greg, myself and Springfield News Sun gearhead Mike Cooper are excited about the opportunity to bring local motorsports the attention it so deserves.
There’s a reason that many of today’s superstars raced in the Miami Valley area. It’s an area loaded with incredible race tracks and plenty of driving talent. What better place to test your skills than against some of the finest hotshoes around?
My bet is that Greg will be your contact for the Dayton area and north. Mike’s the likely source for racers east of Dayton, and I’ve got the Hamilton-Middletown and parts south of Dayton covered.
Having worked for an Indycar team (TrueSports), for a major race track (The Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course) and a major racing series (the Indy Lights Series), I’ve got a solid bit of knowledge about the sport. But racing is one of those deals where you just can’t learn enough.
There’s names and faces out there who work behind the scenes that I’d love to talk to and learn about. And there’s stories out there in the bleachers each weekend who I’m sure have a story to tell or a recipe to swap.
We’ll be out at the tracks, from Edgewater to Eldora and many places in between. And I hope to see you there!
John
