Had a great trip to America this week, what a blast – and how many experiences I can share!  It would be one VERY long blog post.  The highlights…had to be the Charlotte Checkers game where we ended up on the ice…and WON a raft race against Team Penske (Charlotte is home base for their stock car operation)…however, I did come down with a cold – so I like to blame it on the fact that I was “on the ice slaving away.” :)

In the above picture, at least my “PR Girl Friday” did it with me – she doesn’t just sign me up for this ridiculousness all on her own! That’s Demi to the right, along with two good friends Noelle & Jason Graves, from Charlotte. Also visiting with several marketing firms & teams in Atlanta to talk about potential NCWTS races in 2010 and 2011, as well as catching up with many old friends from my days running Craftsman Truck Series in the states a few years back.  “Ma” is still running the operation over at GreenLight Racing, and she’ll always take care of me!

It’s back to the grind this week, but a good grind it is.  My UK Legends cars are due in on Monday of week next – off the boat, into the garage for preparation for the first race on March 27th.  We’re busy finishing up press kits, Hero cards and websites to be “print ready” for all of my new interviews and marketing partner calls – and I’m still training for the Virgin London Marathon in April.  That cold is not making me enthusiastic, but a train run is a train run – can’t stop training.  KEEP DIGGIN!

Cheers, JM
