Busy day

Picked up vinyl for a last minute sponsor (thanks Celito) along with a fresh set of tires from fellow E30 pilot Mark Cooper at Performance Chassis. First race is this weekend, I haven’t been on track for almost three months so hopefully I can shake off the rust quickly.

Performing for Web Performance

Another very nice press release, this time from Michael Czeiszperger of Web Performance. Michael is not only a sponsor and friend but also a motorsports enthusiast, as is his wife Maria (he does rallycross in an appropriately named Subaru, she autocrosses a Mini). In fact I met Maria many years ago at TriLUG and she even wrote a book on my favorite topic, Open Source in the business world. Hopefully the weather will cooperate and we’ll both be at the THSCC event at VIR this weekend, if I’m not mistaken it will be his first time on a racetrack! C’mon snow, you visited last weekend, go bother someone else for a while.

OpenNMS press release

A nice little write up by my friend Tarus Balog of OpenNMS, who was my first sponsor (well technically cerient was the first but that had a streamlined approval procedure). Thanks for the kind words Tarus, I’m already feeling the pressure to win!

It looks di-vinyl!

Eric from Extreme Vinyl came over today to install all of the sponsor graphics, along with driver name and car numbers. Took a little while to get everything lined up and applied but it looks great, I was so excited i took a bunch of crappy photos with my iPhone!

Afterwards my neighbor Josh stopped by with his fancy DSLR and took some far better shots:

Thanks Eric and Josh!
