I just wanted to throw this out there! - The Race Forums - A Social Network for Fans of the American Le Mans

I just have a small favor to ask you guys, that we should all make a small goal this year. That goal is to get the American Le Mans Series more widely known and appreciated. This series is so great and it's life depends on us fans. So, please talk more about the series, with your co-workers, friends, relatives, anybody really and get that wheel rolling down the hill!

I used to always try to explain it to people, and they just never got it, but I just got an iPod, which I loaded a bunch of ALMS pics and vids onto, so now I can show them what the ALMS is all about wherever I'm at.

Unfortunately, most of my family and friends are sick of hearing about it and would rather eat glass than listen to me talk about it more.

I try... but it is one of those things that must be experienced. Verbal explanations just don't cut it.

That's a good idea.

I think I'm in the same boat as Hallen.

Some may recognize the calendar on the left...thanks again!!

Nick:
Well done....you could have your cube in the Bud Light "Dude" commercial......

And I thought I was bad having the Carsport Viper grill on my wall!

I wear my ALMS golf shirts at work all the time (and tshirts on Fridays). They don't get it - all they know of racing is Nascar as Loudon is 40 miles away.

apc_monk · 01-10-2008, 10:02 PM

I plan on getting some shirts so I can wear them around at work.

bullitt_60 · 01-10-2008, 10:43 PM

I do every day!

At my first PLM in '02 there were three including myself at the campsite. Last year there were more than 20 on Friday night.

Wow Nick, you may have a problem. lol I love the one family photo down in the corner. I really do wish I worked with someone like you. There is only one other guy at my office that likes road racing... his son is an engineer for Forsythe, so it's pretty cool to talk shop with him.
