I enjoyed a fun weekend putting some miles on Hank with my boys. Kyle Quattromani Photoworks took some pics and it felt good getting to edit again. Definitely missed it. Here are a few finished photos that I really liked.

Ok, it's actually not that little. And, I am more terrified & excited than I have ever been in my entire life. Yet, I am fully committed and have put my money on the table to reserve my spot. The event filled up very quickly this year, and there are 36 teams on the waitlist. I am number 31. OLoA announced that the same thing happened last year, and "with the typical drop-outs, everyone that wanted to go, and could, made the event". I am moving full steam ahead with certainty that I will be in the event.
I will be sharing my updates as I plan and prepare for this epic event.
Entry #1, October 10, 2019.
Team Blue Steel.
We are currently over 6 months away, and there's lots to do. I have compiled a rough budget, it's close to $15k. On top of the $3k entry fee, insurance policy, required tires & safety equipment, fuel, food & lodging for at least 2 people, I need every drop of racing gear (suit, shoes, gloves, full face helmet, etc). I have also included cost for new brake pads and rotors for all four corners of my car, and an extra set of brake pads to carry on the event.
Planning is still in the infancy and contains a lot of variables. I have not chosen a teammate(s), but there are a few interested and very qualified persons. I'm not 100% set on using my Mustang and would be interested in running a brand new stock vehicle. I currently have zero official sponsors.
The definitive variable is that I need racing gear. Proactively, I will be in Charlotte, North Carolina this Sunday-Wednesday, to shop for, and try on, said racing gear. I am thrilled to finally be shopping for a racing suit. I have dreamed about this for a long time!
That is all for now. Please follow me on this journey through my FB posts and on Instagram, @bl_steel.
Nice to see someone pushing these cars to their limits.
