My day started early with calls and e-mails from here and the UK. Long talk with an old friend who had some interesting information about recent departures at NASCAR and ISC. The downturn in interest is starting to hurt at very high levels. Talked about the direction of the sport and the growth of country clubs, and the Cologne Forum on tracks.
No sooner had we got off the call with me promising to send him details of the Forum but there was an e-mail inviting me to a panel discussion in an extra session at the Forum on "The Future of Motorsport Circuit and Venue Design." That should be interesting and very nice to be asked as the first panelist. Apparently the Track Engineering session that I am moderating is being well received.
Then had a call from the UK about a software/hardware system to manage our memberships and operations at Sol Real. Certainly an interesting morning.
Thank you Eddie for some insight into Rossi's potential problems, but it also occurred to me that Yamaha may be being less than helpful to him now. There was a piece that said he was not given the new front forks to try at the Brno test the day after he formally announced he is going to Ducati.
Marcus Ambrose is going to Richard Petty Motorsport and Ford. RPM have not had a lot of success lately, but they do seem to be on the way back, so let's hope Marcus can continue a successful NASCAR career with them.
Here in Arizona it is the monsoon season. You probably thought monsoons only happened in places in Asia, but no we have them. Usually just means the humidity is a bit higher, nothing like Louisiana, but enough for the natives. Last night we had a heavy storm which curtailed the attendance a bit at our Tuesday presentation, but still went well. If all the people who put off till next week come it will be standing room only! Have an interest from Los Angeles for a group of members, so word really spreading. The searches for this blog site include a number using Sol Real, so that tells us we are having an impact despite only being "live" for a couple of weeks.
