Default My 1st 'Pro' drive...

Well, almost, but not really

I was asked by Grassroots Motorsports magazine to be one of the expert or pro drivers for their $2007 Challenge. This was a real honor (@ least to me) as they only choose top, national-level Solo drivers to be one of their 'hired guns'. I couldn't believe they asked me--I must have them fooled, thinking I can drive or something

Thought I'd share this w/ my ZR bretheren. Now fellas I expect special treatment from all of you from this point forward, as I'm now a real, bona fide (and Bonafede!) bigshot & expect to be treated as such.....

Seriously, the article is in the new Feb issue & they gave the drivers some ink. Here I'm getting ready to do a run in a (soon-to-be-in-color-style, I'll bet) flat black RX-7...

That's a GLH Mopar car (remember those?), that had an interesting 'puzzle-type' paint scheme. Some of these guys get waaaaaaay creative on these cars...

From that one pic, I'd say you're right Frank--but it was our job to drive the p!ss out of 'em for their owners

Congrats Gorge, I can't believe I did not let a driver of your high esteem shake my Z down at Aarons. Figured you'd be bored with a "mostly stock" '91.

See ya,

Tony
