Good stuff. Dempsey seems to be a real racer.
CJ, love listening to his plans and enthusiasm.

Agreed. I was at first going to write "scroll to 8:00 mark to watch the CJ bit" but then I watched and listened to shiny smile Hollywood boy and realized "don't judge a book" ... he's hard core and puts serious money where that shiny smile mouth is ... : )

Awesome. Didn't know Steven Mac drove for CJ. He's come a long way since his days coaching at GPNY. Good for him.

I had a chance to speak to both of them yesterday at the Grand Opening/Ribbon Cutting Ceremony at the Austin F1 Track (COTA's) and I can tell you this......
Both of them are extremely passionate about this sport and both have an incredible desire to succeed.
And what's equally impressive.....they are both very humble for all their achievements away from the track.....

Based on their other careers, I think they will have great success in Motorsport.

Thanks for that, that was awesome. Greatly looking forward to the 25hr now. That's gonna be one helluva team.

CJ, I hope you got Tyler in a car, the 25 hr just wont be the same without him. lol
