I made it

After 4 days of grueling testing in the desert that is Phoenix, I made it to the final 30. I can now say I am an official factory driver for the largest automaker in Europe! I will now be racing for Volkswagen this year in the Jetta TDI Cup.

Wish me luck this season! All races will be televised on SpeedTV.

Work is slow and I am bored.

Could this week go by any slower? I have been on the internet all week at work and even that gets boring...

I got excellent news since I will be going to Phoenix, AZ to test for the brand new 2008 Volkswagen Jetta TDI Cup. :)

I found funding at the last minute for the entry fee and will be competing against 100+ drivers for a spot in one of the 30 race cars. Hopefully I will make it. I just want to be on SpeedTV...yea, just kidding.

I am finally realizing my goals and living out my dreams. I wish Tuesday would come faster, so I can finally fly out. I will be bringing my helmet, gym clothes, camera, and other travel necessities. In the Baltimore metro, it's warmed up a little in the past couple of days from the 40's to 50's, now getting into the 60's. Phoenix will be a sweaty 85 degrees +.

Here's a fun list (and a repost from the link) of my fun fun itinerary.



Wish me luck, and I will update RightFootDown.com with the testing report and hopefully some pictures. If I have some time this weekend, I might check out the Sakura or cherry blossom trees during the Cherry Blossom Festival in DC.

10-4. Out.
