This is Greg Cottrell of Rugged Radios, saving our bacon on the way down to the Baja 1000 in 2008.
I met Greg on our way down to the Baja 1000 back in 2008. Richard had an issue with his comm system and we pulled in to Greg’s shop in San Luis Obispo to have it looked at. I recall Greg had it fixed in something like five seconds.
I got in touch recently to find out whether he could fix our four year old race radio – the face fell off it at our last race of the season. Not good. We got to talking, one thing led to another and Greg has signed on to support our race effort for 2011, outfitting 1107 with a state of the art comm system that I’m confident will allow us to communicate with race teams on other planets.
Here’s the press release I put together on his sponsorship. I’m really looking forward to working with Greg and his team.
