Goodyear Blimp Ride.



I can say that there are not a lot of things in life that totally excite me but after going sky high in the Goodyear blimp I now have a new fascination.
I was in LA this past week on a Goodyear appearance and was pleasantly surprised by one of the awesome Goodyear folks "Chet Warwick" with a Blimp ride. However...the story does not end here.
After being sky high for about 10 minutes the Goodyear Blimp Pilot "Jon Conrad" looked at me as I sat in the copilot seat and told me to switch seats with him.
He then began Blimp flight instruction school and as I took the drivers seat it did not surprise me that I had all of my passengers biting their nails!
I now know without any doubt that I am more talented flying through the desert in my high-speed Off Road Racing buggy then I do at the "wheel" of a blimp.
We did make it back to civilization safely and what a life experience that was!
Thanks to all of the awesome Goodyear folks that made this happen!

September 9 2008

I know that it has been a while since my last journal entry so I want to catch everyone up on a few things going on in my life!
I have been extremely busy working on my coffee table book that is featuring 40 Pro Athletes chatting all about what cars that they chose to buy and drive. My plans are to have all 40 interviews and photo sessions with these awesome athletes complete by February 2009 so that the book can be in stores by Christmas 2009!
I have also been busy planning my Baja 1000 race that takes place the third week of November and of course in the midst of planning the buggies recon top to bottom so that it can make its way the whole 1000 miles of rugged desert terrain.
It is always exhilarating when football season kicks off and exciting to know that my Cowboys will kick
*%&*# this season!
I have a few new projects on the horizon so stay tuned.
