  • Getting ready for a work day

    SCORE International patch

    Got my SCORE membership in the mail yesterday. Member card, patch, stickers, sa2006-2010 rules and regs book and a coupon for a t-shirt that I can pick up at the registration desk at the 1000. It’s like Christmas in September.

    Getting ready to head off for a work day on 1101. Will be twittering, since its best to keep me away from the power tools.

  • Baja 1000 diabetes drive-a-thon pledge page is live

    World Diabetes Day logo

    Once again for 2008 we’re conducting a drive-a-thon fundraiser in conjunction with the International Diabetes Federation and its program to raise awareness of diabetes in children and adolescents.

    100% of the money pledged to the drive-a-thon goes to the IDF’s education and awareness programs. Desert Dingo Racing raises money to support the team separately. If you can do a penny a mile, it helps.

    If you donate, shoot me an email at jim@desertdingo.com and I’ll write your name on the car (probably the inside of the roof).

    I’ll be working on a pledge button for the sidebar, but for now you can get to the pledge page by clicking here.
