Innovations and Insights at the U.S. Nationals at Lucas Oil Raceway
At U.S. Nationals this year, there will be more than 900 different cars competing – and Technical Operations inspects all those cars – one at a time before they race and then after each round. It’s a huge job but there has been a shift in the NHRA technical world over the last couple of years that is making it just a little bit easier for the U.S. Nationals. It’s been a pretty quiet, but significant, shift. Former Indiana resident Glen Gray, Vice President, Technical Operations for NHRA came home to Indiana and brought the hub of Technical Operations with him – more specifically to Hendricks County and Brownsburg’s Lucas Oil Raceway. “There’s a...

In addition to the innovative cause marketing concept announced by Josh Laycock and Mike Schaefer called BOLO (that are Coupons for a Cause), another good friend has done something else that is worth shouting out – It’s called Tell ’em ’bout Me!

You want to know the best part about being an entrepreneur and working for yourself? It’s when you get to really work hard to do something that makes a difference to someone else. You don’t have to justify the amount of time you spend on a project because in the bottom of your stomach you know you are devoting your time to something worthwhile. There have been several projects this week that have made me feel this way – the two highlights are: A press release about a partnership that is bringing together businesses and non-profits and customers in a way that makes the entire community a better place – Josh Laycock and Mike Schaefer delivered...
Read MoreCan Blogs Really Make a Difference?
Words and words in blogs are more far-reaching and have a greater impact than you might imagine. Let me tell you a story about one of the blog posts I recently wrote about my experience at a pond class at Nature’s Choice in Brownsburg. If you read the post, you know I was excited about going and very impressed with the class and everything I learned. I took lots of pictures primarily to augment my own learning. I knew I would forget a lot of what I was taught before I started the project at my house. A week or so after the class, I stopped by Nature’s Choice to pick up some more rocks because I was creating my own version of the pond-less waterfall and I mentioned...
Read MoreStories and Surprises Catch the Eye of the Public
It’s always a surprise what I am going to see as I traverse Hendricks County. This time, I had to pull over to take some photos of this scene in Brownsburg: Several dirt track winged sprint teams were on their way from Kokomo, Ind. to Iowa and over-nighted at the Comfort Suites in the ‘burg. Of course, with a lot this big, it was perfect to work on the race cars, so they did. From February until late fall, these teams make their way back and forth across the nation. One of these teams was from Pennsylvania – and hadn’t been home in a long, long time. You...
