Well by now you probably know more about my cats Rocco and Ozzie than you really care to know but we’ve gotten a lot of positive feedback from the kitty cat blog, so I’m glad you all enjoyed it.



I apologize for not updating the blog over the last two weeks. It was busy after the St. Louis race as we went directly to Chicago for an event with the folks at Caterpillar and the CAT dealer groups. We had a great two days hanging out in Rosemont, Ill.



It was an awesome weekend with the folks from Fabick CAT at the St. Louis race. Tim, Renee, and Rose were great to deal with and we thank them for all the great support. Also our friends at Linn State Technical College, thanks as well. We got our second straight pole and finally won a round starting from the No. 1 spot. It was a crazy race in the semis and a tough one to lose, but we got the points lead back with the Fabick CAT colors on the car, so that was neat. I also got to drive the motor grader simulator at the race and did pretty well. That was cool. I guess if this racing thing doesn’t work, I can go work for a CAT dealer.



I flew home to Las Vegas last Wednesday and have been just laying low. Last Friday night I hung out with some friends and we went bowling at Red Rock Resort. I was all prepared to head out early Monday morning to fly to Bristol and do some press work for the race. Ron Capps and I were scheduled to do a press conference Tuesday and a media tour in Knoxville Wednesday, but that was put on hold after the race was postponed Sunday afternoon.



I thought about enjoying the extra week off at home in Vegas, but we have bigger issues, like finding our team a primary sponsor so we don’t have to run the “Great White Shark” any longer. David has been great in supporting our effort, but it shouldn’t fall on his shoulders. We have the No. 1 car in the class and offer a great value. We’re hoping to have some results soon and get some color on the car. Wish us luck!



Take care,
