Ron & His Racing

Thanks to everyone who attended the Laticrete employee outing at Lime Rock Park last weekend.  We had a blast and I hope this fun event provided some entertaining racing for everyone.  A special thanks to Kristen Holland and Janet Brunwin and the rest of the Wellness Committee for organizing the event.  While I would have like to have won the race, my wife assures me the “crash” and a 3rd place finish  was probably more entertaining than a win.

Here’s a video of the entire race if you’d like to see it from my vantage point:

Here’s just the crash:

Also, we’re working to put a short video of photos and highlights on the Laticrete cafeteria kiosks around the world, so check that out next week.

Thanks again for coming out and hopefully we can do it again next year.

Message from a tile contractor / Joey's Mother:

"2011 Racing Season is officially over.  Joey had a FANTASTIC season.  Here are some stats:
 
7 - 1st Place Wins
3 - 2nd Place Wins
4 - 3rd Place Wins
Rest:  Top 5 every race
 
National Points:  Joey is 22nd out of 146 Drivers in his Division across America.  Joey just missed the Championship at his race track due to missing two races while on a family vacation (my fault - as they tell me ).
 
Thank you, Laticrete, for your wonderful sponsorship this year.  We couldn't of done it without you.
 
Joey will now be moving into a bigger/faster race car for the 2012 season.  Hopefully you will be on board for next year.  This winter we will be taking Joey down to Charlotte, NC, for training."

Joey Wins

Email from a proud mother:

"Great news!  Joey placed 1st last night June 1st out of 12 cars.  He started 8th and came in 1st. 

In addition to that, he is now in the lead for points - out of 14 drivers.

Very proud of him.

Will send you some pics once I get them from the photographer.  Thanks!"

From the Speedbowl website:

"Ternullo dominated the 20-lap Bandolero feature for his first win on the year.  He powered  outside of leader Jordan Lamothe on lap-3 to take command of the race.  From there, Ternullo opened up a large lead before the only caution waved when both Taylor Martin and Rachel Forte retired from the event.  After the yellow flag, Ternullo picked up where he left off and went on to an easy win.  Lamothe finished second and Robby Jones was third."

Tile Guys Like to Drive Fast Cars

Kent Klaser of Klaser Tile drives fast.

From Kent:

"It's a 1977 930 Turbo chassis that has been completely modified for track use only. We run a 500hp twin turbo and body style is a 996 GT3RS. We run in the POC (Porsche Owners Club) series and NASA series in Southern Ca. Primary race tracks are Willow Springs Raceway and Buttonwillow Raceway. Highlight was in 2007 when we won the POC 4hr Tribute to Lemans race. It ran from 6 pm to 10pm and we took 1st overall with co-driver Urs Gretener. Attached is the cover shot we got in the club newsletter after that event. "
