Last year Daniel won the SKUSA Super Nats in his first try after freshly receiving his Censport Painted helmet. Daniel has been on quite a tear and he is regularly beating much more experienced competitors. The Lancaster Grand Prix was no exception as he dominated the weekend and checked out in the race. The Lancaster Grand Prix is a relatively new venue in the streets of down town Lancaster, TX. This year there was apx. 35,000 spectators and the event is growing every year and gaining popularity and status as on of the biggest kart races in North America. Hopefully Daniel can pull off another win at his second appearance at the Super Nats in Vegas.

I just completed these two beautiful helmets and thought I would take some pictures of them together. Just shows how radical the Stilo helmet is compared to the Arai.

Other than the spectacular crashes by the two Audi cars this year you would have to say that the win for the number 73 Corvette was the most exciting thing about the race. As the sun was coming up over the picturesque French countryside the 73 Corvette was in 3rd place and a lap down on the two lead cars. It was safe to say that if the other cars didn’t run into any problems that Tommy and his teammates would end up 3rd. BUT, with a few hours to go the sister car collided with a back marker while overtaking in a corner and the car was destroyed and out of the race. One of the Ferrari’s assumed the lead and looked like it could cruise to the win, but with a couple of hours left in the race they started to have some engine trouble and the car lost quite a bit of power. The game was on! Tommy could smell blood in the water, and with Tommy behind the wheel he started to take chunks of time out of the Ferrari on every lap. The lead dwindled from a lap, to a half lap, to a minute, to seconds, and finally the Corvette was there to pounce and took the lead. Tommy never looked back and came in for their final driver change handing the car over to Antonio Garcia. They were able to capitalize on their competitor’s misfortune and won the race. It just goes to show that you can never give up and settle for less in an endurance race like Le Mans, anything can happen, and in this case their poise and clean driving paid off. Read more

For those of you who didn’t see this race let me write a little synopsis for you. Jason was quickest in practice and had the pole wrapped up until the very last second when Jake Zemke squeezed in a lap .3 seconds quicker. There was no doubt that there was going to be a hand full of guys that could win the race. It is really hard to break the draft at Daytona and get a big enough lead so the pack doesn’t swallow you up on the banking, so it was any man’s race to win really. Read more

My very good friend since high school has started an amazing blog covering his travels to cool locations and artist studios. He was in town this week and stopped by to snap some pics and do a small write up on the shop. Bo brought his friend Caleb Clark who works at MMI (Motorsports Management International) as director of branding. Bo wanted to show Caleb my operation and hopefully have him get me some business from his NASCAR clients that MMI represents.
