HORSEPOWER & HEELS

On the road again, but this time I got to help out my right hand for a change. Debbie, my partner in crime, is the new event director for the World Street Challenge (Formerly the World Ford Challenge). She's taken the event, and kicked it up a few notches.... like 22 notches. This event has been a vision for her for 5 years running, and now she's getting to make it reality. It will feature the best of EVERYTHING.... drag racing, drifting, car shows, motorcycles, bikini contest, sound offs, bands, live music.... its the event of the decade.

To promote the event, she's saturating the market.... so that means getting the world out by pounding the streets. So, she's been hitting all the season closers for all types of different series and talking it up with cool looking flyers. And this past weekend, she headed to Bowling Green, KY for the NMRA World Finals.

Being that Bowling Green is only 3 hours away (what's 3 hours when you travel as much as I do?!), I decided to jump up to the Nashville airport Saturday morning, pick up Deb and help her passing out WSC flyers. Its always a great time when we get together, so I was definitely looking forward to it.

We managed to hand out about 700 flyers in the scorching hot sun on Saturday and talked to plenty of people about the race... to mixed results. I think we worked great as a team, and I know that this race is going to be incredible because of how gifted and how much passion that Debbie has for this sport.
