AWESOME !! Just finished up the phone interview with Aviation Magazine !

P · Sep 25, 2008

Way cool editor, he was seriously interested in the sport and getting information ! Plugged several things he asked for a website that was informative on the sport and racing I told him about Pirate4x4, we talked a TON about XRRA , how the races are ran, what a typical buggy is built from material and suspension stuff. He asked a ton of questions so it was real cool , he wanted to know what kind of companies sponser these so I dropped the biggies Monster, Redbull, told him Tire companies are a huge support vehicle for the industry, BFG and Maxxis. We discussed a little bit about WE-Roc and XRRA the differences in track and cars. I look forward to seeing the article ( I guess I need to check out one of the older mag's and see how they lay these out.

I talked to him a good bit about KOH as well. Told him about how Matt and I are excited to head to Cali and run for a chance at some of the biggest names in the industry.

Man, we didnt talk all "that" long it didnt seem like, but he sure crammed a ton of questions in there ! I was just excited to be able to put the sport and industry in front of some people outside of it so Im kinda hopped up now !

I told him about having a few sponser's and he asked " So are you needing more sponsers, that has to be expensive traveling and towing those vehicles that far " I was like " Yes sir the more help the better when it comes to sponsers " and he went on a little more about " So you guys look for help on travel expenses and lodging and stuff "

Like I said, he asked a TON of questions, very cool ! I almost felt famous, my mom will be so proud laughing1

If you need aviation parts ever ( do you own a plane ? ) I can get you hooked the F up on most makes, depending on what you fly. My first 5yrs in aviation were spent dealing with general aviation

I own a Kitfox and an RV 6a and fly a stolen S-Model Bonanza to the events. I so want to bring the RV to the events so I can put on an "airshow".
