Do You Know the Right Question?

I have always thought that it never hurts to ask, because you will never end up worse off than you were before you asked and if it works out, well, you will get what you want! So, while dragging my good friend Sara and her dad around to every little thing that caught eye while at the American Le Mans (which for someone who seems to have A.D.D. is a LOT!), I suddenly made beeline for a fenced off area that caged several amazing cars. When we got to the gate we discovered it was a private pass only area. Sara then asked if we could just go in to get a closer look at the cars right inside. We flashed sweet smiles and they let us in! So while dripping drool over some interesting car I had never seen before, the owner came up told us the history of the car and let us hop in. And if I ever want to build one of these I now know where to go!

P.S. I challenge you to ask for just one thing this week that you want but would not be inclined to ask for. HUGS!

Do You Know the Right Question?

I finally got the opportunity to go to the Sebring 12-hours American Le Mans, which I have been dying to do for years. The race itself was amazing but the best part was the people I met. In the showroom of cars previously raced at Sebring, I met a fascinating man. Fred was sitting with the Turner he raced there in 1959! He proceeded to tell me a great story of how he gained entry to race. Enjoy the video and remember to take advantage of the opportunities that come your way, because you never know where they might lead you!

P.S. I looked up Fred and was impressed that as a last minute entry he finished 43rd out of the 65 that finished (16 didn’t finish!). Not bad for a guy who was just thrilled to get an “all access ticket”! Check out this site to see pics of Fred racing this car at Sebring in 1959! www.turnersportscars.co.uk

P.P.S. Carpe Diem! Keep your eyes open to what is going on around you; interesting people and fun adventures are everywhere if you live in the moment. HUGS!
