Just found out one of my friends is racing at Le Mans!
Ok, so I'm a little slow on catching up with this year's Le Mans, but I just found out one of my friends from here in Dallas is racing in Le Mans! Nick Boulle with Jackie Chan DC Racing #33. I've raced karts with Nick over the past couple of years and have seen him race down in COTA. They're hosting a Le Mans party next week and I can't wait to catch up with him. He's a great guy and won 24 Hours of Daytona in the PC category last year.

It is always good when you have a personal reason for following a car during the race.

That's fantastic - it's always great to have someone you know to cheer for? Pit visit?

Are you working again at Le Mans this year Robert, or is this one just a straight 'pleasure' trip?

That's a great surprise Robert!
If you ever managed to beat him in karting and he does well this year, then you have beaten a successful Le Mans driver . |

That is a nice interest to have for the race, I hope he does well . I've always been involved in the Karting scene here in the UK and it is great to see some of the young stars making it to Le Mans.

Pit visit....don't think I won't bring it up next week at their Le Mans party. I'll see what I can do and will report back in a week. Ayse...I'm working the event again this year. Just like Indy this week where I hope to catch up with Victor! I love this community. Bassman at Daytona and Victor this year, just need to get you guys down to COTA!
