Remembering a great racer

We lost a great racer. Paul Newman has passed on. PLN has always been a great inspiration for me. My first real race car was a Datsun 240Z painted in red/white/blue to mimick his car. I met him at Daytona in 1997 and 1998 and he was the nicest down-to-earth racer I had met. At the track he was always having a good time but took his racing very seriously. He was a great driver with more natural talent than many top paid drivers out there today. The world is a better place because of Paul Newman and he left his mark with me and many generations to come. Rest in peace PLN

Race Updates

Well it has been a very trying year. We managed to finish the race at NJ Motorsports park after all the mayhem. We were a lap down at the end and the race was riddled with wrecks and drama but we got it done. My stint was the second one and I got in the car with 1 hour and 10 minutes to go. Before we even got a green flag, there was a wreck and we were under caution until there was only 18 min left. I got a green flag and raced for a whopping 18 minutes! I must say that the track was fun and the weather was beautiful though.

Our next adventure is the 6 Hour race at Virginia International Raceway. We are trying to raise funds to get there and run. I know the economy has been pretty bad lately but we are not looking for millions! If a few people put something towards it we can do it. I am the only out GLBT Pro in sports that is out and active! There has to be someone that wants to help support myself and the community! There is a paypal addy on my website and anything helps. If anyone has any ideas let me know as well.

My agent did not work out as he was too young and not ready for this type of career. He is smart and should do fine with more experience, but needs to finish school and get some seat time in the real world. If anyone knows of an agent or publicist that wants to try and grow with me I can be contacted thru here or my website (edarlingenterprises.com).
