Maybe I'll be "this cool" someday...

From the latest issue of Grassroots Motorsports magazine I just got in the mail (one of the perks with joining NASA):

I realize this isn't terribly tech oriented...but who else would care?

Lookin' good, Sam. You bastage.

congrats!

Wow... they resurrected that add. It first ran in 2007. I might be biased, but I think it's one of their better ones.

I'm very proud they chose me to us in an ad based of my results. Even happier it's a full-pager and a great picture of the car!

I'm pretty sure you won't find many other parts/setup shops bestowed with that honor.

Thanks for posting.

Did you get extra compensation for being placed in an advertisment?

If they wanted to use my name and image on an ad (not like that is at all likely), I'd want more than free tires.

I'd want more than free tires.

4 free Hoosiers and my car in Grassroots ? Hell, I'll take it.

No compensation. No payment, not tires other than what I win for contingency--and that program is quite generous... amounting to many thousands of dollars worth of tires. I'm not ballsy enough to ask for more.
