Greg writes: I'm labeling 2010 "Transitions". Everyone is in some state of transition: Jeremy with a new son, Jeff with some other life changes, Joe has disappeared, Matt is working hard to build the business, and I had a minimal 2009 season that allowed me to see what it's like to have actual cash in my checking account. I suspect the lot of of are feeling a bit fatigued by racing; not so much that we dislike it or want to quit, but enough to where we're gonna get a bit more picky.
The Integra build is coming along nicely; we expect to attend the National at NHMS in early April to compete in STU. I've actually set a goal for myself to attend the 2010 SCCA Runoffs; though I recognize the I.T. car won't be competitive in a good STU field, I've always wanted to run Road America (yup, believe it or not, never have in a quarter-century of racing.) And if I'm going to make that long tow, it's going to be for a premier event.
The Miata project has not progressed at all, primarily due to priorities (that being the Integra) in both time and money. However, I am in discussion with another potential partner in the car, and if we come to agreement then NER will get a nice surprise... With the recent changes with the ITAC and effective commandments from the CRB, I'm am fully convinced that a well-built 1.8L Miata in the right hands will wipe up ITA; the car is that good. I suspect we'll see more in that regard in 2010.
So, get the Integra done and go racing: that's the goal. Whatever happens after that is gravy...
See you there!
