ChrisLock Posted June 14, 2006 Author Share Posted June 14, 2006 How did you guys do @ Buttonwillow? We weren't racing at BW this weekend, but if you meant our test day friday, it went well. Just making some fine tweaks before the rig leaves for Mid-Ohio next week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joel Gat Posted June 15, 2006 Share Posted June 15, 2006 Hello, Thank you all for the congratulatory words. I can't easily express how excited I am to be a part of GOTO:Racing. This is another one of those opportunities of a lifetime - a continuation of the young, growing team spirit that I enjoyed so much with Gary at TeamSMR. There are some people in racing who may have more experience than all members of our team combined, but we're a team willing to learn, and we have some great sponsors who not only teach us, but also get their hands dirty. Mike at Gruppe-S, Mark at DMS, Mike at Calculated Risk, etc., were not only crucial sponsors, but their hands helped build the Legacy GT. Although GOTO had purchased the TeamSMR WRX more than a season earlier, I didn't really get to know the GOTO folks until I met them again, in my role at the USTCC. There, I saw the drive and excitement of everyone on the GOTO team, from the drivers to the crew to the sponsors who were intimately involved with the team. I knew, instantly, that I wanted to be a part of the team. I've been with GOTO now for just a couple months (since about a week before the Phoenix race) and I feel completely at home. I fell into place as a crew member, took charge of as many aspects of the program as I could, and once I garnered the team's trust, they asked me if I wanted to take over the roll of Crew Chief. Racing is what it's all about. Broke but racing is better than rich and doing a 9-to-5 http://images.nasioc.com/ubb-files/smilies/biggrin.gif Now, let's get ready to race! We're a week away from Mid-Ohio and we're looking to teach those 2WD folks about the Beauty of AWD http://images.nasioc.com/ubb-files/smilies/biggrin.gif Joel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RaceComp Engineering Posted June 16, 2006 Share Posted June 16, 2006 Joel, Are you doing the VIR 12 hour? Lemme know if you need a hand, I'll be in school at Virginia Tech not too far from there, so I'll be there regardless. - Andrew Hello, Thank you all for the congratulatory words.
