STATUS CHECK!

Hey, hey what’s going on Pro-Liners?! So we are officially 54 days into 2010 and my question is, where you at? What has been good so far?

For myself it’s been a pretty packed last two months. It started off in January with some racing in sub 20-degree temperatures. It was absolutely the most miserable I have ever been at an R/C track in the last 14 years. I know, I know, I live in Florida how cold could it be but I am telling you that it was 22 degrees out with 10+ mph winds in Miami of all places. I ended up finishing 3^rd so it wasn’t too terrible 🙂

However, it has been away from the track where all the action has been happening lately. If you have read some of my other blogs you probably know this already but I started back at the University of South Florida here in the beginning of February. I am going back for my master’s degree in entrepreneurship. Although I am only 3 weeks in, it has already been an awesome experience. It is really neat to be in a class with people who actually want to be there and want to be better. I am learning a ton and working on some awesome projects. In my New Product Development class we have to redesign a Dental Prop for pediatric dentistry and if the design is good enough the school is actually going to patent and license the design. In my Strategic Market Assessments class we are working on a marketing plan for a LIDAR system that detects audio sources below ground like electronic mines and stuff like that. So all really neat stuff and if you cant tell I’m pretty excited.

Also, just like the past 6 years, my fiancé and I made the trip to the Daytona 500 earlier this month. It was a great time except for that stupid pothole that broke open causing almost 3 hours of delays. But being the hardcore racing people that we are we stuck it out and stayed til the end and watched ole’ Jr. make his way back to the front. That’s all I have for today folks but look for me again soon and at a race near you!

Here are some random pictures from my travels:
