Default The Turtle Pond at Road America

We have a great location this year.

We are at the heart of things, across from Eurosport, and across from PCA Tech (no doubt so that they can keep an eye on us). If you come through the tunnel under the front straight, you'll end up in the Pond.

We should have room for 6 race cars, maybe more.

The Team will likely have a special guest paddocked in the pond with us this year. More about this later. He is much too fast to be a regular member, but he is so much fun, he has honorary status.

After our guest, teammates have first rights to spaces. I've heard from a couple already...

More as the week goes on.

See you all Thursday

Why not come up for a bit of coaching? It would be a great opportunity for you...if you can help us turtles you'd be able to boast that you can help anyone!!!

I would love to, and thanks for the offer. However, I am already committed to coach someone this weekend at a different track. Next year, maybe we could plan it a bit in advance, and make it happen? I would really love to do this!

There is nothing more important than remaining hopeful while camping!

Looking forward to seeing you too, Angel. Our "island" may be a great place for your daughter to set up the table.
