Hey guys,
I have a special guest lined up to give us insight to track driving. Greg Shaffer, Grand Am cup driver and Summit Point instructor will be at our March 28th meeting.
I'd encourage any member that can attend to make it out to this one. It's going to be good.

If you guys get to ask questions, and if he didn't answer this during his talk please ask him Where he started out racing and how he ended up in GrandAm.
Thanks
Not sure it applies to Greg, but most of the guys in Grand Am got their by making lots of $ somewhere else.
The easiest way to earn a small fortune in Grand Am is to start out with a large one ;-).

That is true indeed. You gotta be really fast or really good looking ;-).
Enough hijacking, looking forward to what Greg says!

Greg did an absolutely amazing question/answer session. Goodspeed got the majority of it on tape but the batteries must have died before it was over because we kept him going for a good hour and a half. I learned an incredible amount about the inner workings of a race team and how it all comes together for a big race.

good deal! can't wait to watch it!!
We made sure to get your question in first Chad, just to make sure his answer would be on film. Amazingly his start wasn't all that much different than some of yours.

Excellent presentation, really nice guy and it was definitely a valuable and informative meeting. I got about 40 mins. worth before the battery died but I'll be sure to make a vid of it and get it posted, might have to make a 3 part series or something but in the next couple of days I'll get it posted up.
I'm pretty pumped about this, great work guys.
