Hi Cliff:
First off - HI MATERS....i'm alive and well and would like to join you to provide some insights (along with Jeff Wolf) on the happenings at Wild Horse Pass Motorsports Park. As many of you may or not know, I am working part-time at WHPMP as the timing system operator (along with operating my online marketing company Lumin8 for the past 7 years). I've been in the tower since October of last year and really enjoy my time with the team. I know that some of you might have a negative perception about me since I left the "Mater" back in 2010 based on what you have "heard" - well as they say, there is always two sides to every story, but some things I simply can't excuse or explain except for to admit I made some mistakes - and have paid the price. However, I have picked back up the pieces and have placed myself and my family in a better position. I wanted to let you all know that a lot has changed over those days, and I'm in a much better place So - now that the intros are done - let's provide some info.
The Pro Stock Bike that has been making several 7.70'ish runs is Jianna Salinas - Mike's daughter. She is riding one of the Stoffer's PSM's - which is set up rather soft so she can get some valuable seat time. In fact, one item that we've done is to set up the Christmas tree to replicate another "bike" in the lane - so she can work on staging with another competitor. If you watch the video, you'll see one of our starting line officials - (also named Tim) tripping the beams. Jianna has been doing a great job and learning more with each lap. Their plan was to make about 20 laps over the week - and steadily improve performance as she gets more comfortable.
Anyways, just wanted to provide some insight for you guys.
I believe I have asked you this many moons ago but do you ever come out to oz on any tours? If so, we must grab a drink sometime or if all of us are in So Cal at the time of the Winters or Finals have a catch up.
