  • MyLLC.com Sponsors Desert Dingo Racing 2009-10 Off-Road Racing Season

    October 19, 2009, Santa Cruz, Calif. – MyLLC.com®, the nation’s leading document filing service, catering to individuals, small businesses and the legal and financial industries, announced today that it is sponsoring Desert Dingo Racing’s 2009-2010 off road racing season, including the Baja 1000 in Mexico in November.

    “Few sports illustrate the importance of liability protection better than off-road racing. For teams big and small, it can’t be overstated how important it is ensure that drivers, co-drivers, owners, investors, and their families are protected in the event of a mishap”, said MyLLC.com® Vice-President Greg Monterrosa. “Operating as a properly formed and maintained Limited-Liability Company provides a liability “shield” for the entire team, as well as offering substantive tax benefits that could not be realized without the use of a business entity such as an LLC or Corporation.”

  • World Diabetes Congress starts today

    Pre-decals.

    1107 arrived right on time exactly one day late Saturday at 7 a.m. We had a great security escort and Richard drove it through the front doors of the Palais des congrès de Montréal and, at my encouragement, revved the engine and rattled every window within 50 yards.

    I also encouraged him to do some donuts and race up and down the conference center block-long foyer a few times, but he didn’t take me up on that.

    I spent the morning applying all our sponsor and contingency decals and we played “Dust to Glory” on the laptop while Richard talked to early arrivals, some of whom recognized us as the official World Diabetes Day race car.

    Ran errands in the afternoon and worked on Baja 1000 planning.

    Here’s the car all blinged out. If you’re at the conference, drop by and say hi to Richard and me (he’s the good looking one). We’re conveniently located right next to the coffee shop across from main registration.

    It’s a great “10 foot” car.

  • We’re 1104 for the Baja 1000

    How come Eric always get to be 1101? I’m sure it has nothing to do with him having 41 Baja wins, including 9 Baja 1000 first place finishes.

    Five registered so far the the Baja 1000. Eric (naturally). Michael Brown is the team from Alaska. Dolores Casarez is a new name. I’m pretty sure Gustavo raced last year. And us.

    SCORE has announced that the 2010 Baja 1000 will be a straight shot from Ensenada to Cabo San Lucas. That’s more expensive since the teams use a lot more fuel for all the chase and support vehicles, which next year will have to drive all the way back up the Baja Peninsula.

    Ok, once we win the 1000, this video convinced me to race Dakar:

  • Pre-car at the World Diabetes Congress

    There’s a Volkswagen-shaped hole in this booth.

    The booth is right at the main doors to the Palais des congrès de Montréal and I’m expecting a lot of foot traffic. Right now I’ll settle for a cup of coffee. The car, which we’d planned to have arrive between 7 and 8 a.m., will now show up “sometime around noon.”

    Updates as they occur. Most of the action will happen on Twitter at @desertdingo.

  • Find us at the World Diabetes Congress

    Look for us right at the front doors of the Montreal Convention Center.

    I’m not sure where the car is right now, but Richard and I will be meeting it out in front of the Montreal Convention Center between 7 and 8 a.m. on Friday morning. We’ll drive it through the front doors and powerslide it into place in our booth space just inside the front doors close to the World Diabetes Congress registration area.

    Hero cards are printed. Picking them up later today.
