In to the meat of the season, and success at the end of May !
May is finally over, and we are preparing our drivers in Indycar for the slew of road and street courses coming in July. This means raising the intensity levels, adding more reaction training, and getting outside in the heat to simulate race conditions. We have a few drivers from around the world sign on to spend time in our program in June, thus it’s getting a little busy !
We moved into a new location at the end of May. Plans for a wonderful new facility in partnership with IRL Chiropractor Rob Schroeder took a hit when the company who owned our new property went under, thus causing some grief ! But we still have our eyes on the future, and for the nexy 3-6 months we have taken over new space at Createc Corp/Bald Spot Sports at 8660 Guion Road. It’s a great situation and we really have a sweet deal. One of my closest friends, Alan Lewis, owns both companies and the employees enjoy having their own wellness center right in the same building.
We also put the finishing touches on a fitness center for Kasey Kahne’s new WOO shop in Mooresville, NC. Kasey wanted a great workout facility for himself and Brad Sweet, and we got it done just in time for the Grand Opening the Wednesday before Memorial weekend. With help from our friends at Bob Block Fitness, Spri, and Concept 2, Kasey has the sweetest training room around ! The plans are for me to spend time down there each month with Kasey and the team, and that’s a great start into the world of NASCAR !
We had great success recently, with Wade Cunningham winning the Freedom 100 and J.R. Hildebrand assuming the points lead in Indy Lights. Two Dixon’s won last weekend, with Scott winning the IRL race at Milwaukee and Larry taking top honors in top fuel at the NHRA event in Topeka, Kansas.
We also added Team Penske driver Will Power into our program as he prepares for some races in Indycar. Check out our new Simcraft simulator on youtube.com http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JmmNbqjlQbA&feature=channel_page . That’s my youngest son Nick driving it, but we have had many drivers learning tracks on this wonderful training tool. Thanks guys !
Chat soon, have to a track workout at Butler University and then swim session at the IUPUI Natatorium. It’s a good thing !
Stay fit,
JL
