NEW ENGLAND DRAGWAY HERE WE COME!

Hello All,

Had a great trip west. Todd, Eddie, & myself made a stop at Illinois Tool Works, Inc. (ITW), parent company of team sponsors Permatex & Wynn's on our way to Joliet & had the opportunity to introduce Follow A Dream to many of the folks there including the CEO David Speer-we even had him in the car for awhile! The people there were all very interested in what we do & enjoyed getting to check out the car. Then it was off to the Jeg's Allstar race & the Route 66 NHRA Nationals @ Route 66 Raceway. We had a good weekend with the Allstars, where we went to the finals. We were somewhat disappointed in our showing @ the national event, where we unfortunately went out in the first round. Team worked their butts off again & then we all headed home for a short time before heading to New England Dragway today. We'll test tomorrow & then participate in the division 1 Lucas Oil Drag Racing Series Friday & Saturday. Boy is it gonna be HOT, HOT, HOT!!

Hope to see some of you at the races & will fill you in on our progress next week.

Have a good day!

Jay

I'M STILL HERE

Hello All!

We're in Illinois & the trip so far has been a good one. We had a great weekend in Norwalk where we went to the finals before losing that round & this past weekend went out in the semifinals at the Lebanon Valley division 1 event in New York. All the race recaps are on the website if you'd like to check them out. After leaving Norwalk we made a stop @ the University of Northwestern Ohio, where my nephew Jamie Blake is a student. I spoke throughout the day to some 2000 students. The weathers been great for the first half of the trip & Eddie and I are now in Illinois, where I'm speaking at the ITW headquarters in Glenview, IL tomorrow. ITW is the mother company of our sponsors Permatex & Wynn's. Then we'll be off to Route 66 Raceway where the team will meet us for this coming weekends race. If you haven't checked out our live stream of the racing please check our website for coverage from the pits. We're also updating facebook throughout the weekend as well so check that out too.

I hope everybody had a great 4th of July weekend. See you at the races.
