A Comment on SST

Lots of comments and questions around on format and specs....I haven't seen anyone comment on the business side of this.

This new series is a very positive endorsement of RG and his ability to not only race, but run a business and put on a show. There seems to be a large number of very prominent companies willing to invest and endorse SST....

At first glance, RG seems to be getting the best of "grass roots" and "major media" in the same event. Pretty trick.

Back in college, I went to a Mickey Thompson event at Anaheim Stadium. RG drove - I remember walking the stadium and seeing families, etc. From a business standpoint, this is an enormous opportunity for RG - I'm pretty excited.

Hopefully, Dallas is on the docket next year.....Cowboys Stadium is HUGE and would be an an awesome venue.

The "roof" on many of the stadiums is pretty cool too....no weather cancellations and delays.

I see the business side very clearly and it does involve a tremendous amount of support effort. The pace has to be gradual so as to present the best marketing skills with the best media. The right thoughts at the right place at the right time around the right people will present the right results. a good example is speed energy drinks. Hold on its going to get real exciting.

Montreal isn't too far for a hardcore fan to travel. =P

Montreal would be a great market. The folks there embrace racing - big time.
