AMSAT Goes to the Races -- April 27
This coming Sunday, April 27th, AMSAT will have its premiere at a major sports car race -- The Bosch Engineering 250 at the Virginia International Raceway (VIR) Grand-Am Rolex Sports Car Series; VIR is located near Danville, VA on the VA/NC border.
Brad Jaeger (see http://www.bradjaeger.com) is the son of AMSAT member Jim Jaeger (K8RQ) and is piloting the bright yellow #77 Doran Racing Kodak Ford machine (which you can see at http://www.bradjaeger.com/?q=node/110 and at http://www.grand-am.com/rolex/drivers/driver.cfm?did=1110).
K8RQ has arranged for AMSAT to display its colors on Brad's car on a "space available" basis. If you can make it to Danville for the weekend, the detailed schedule of events can be found at http://www.grand-am.com/assets/08VIROfficialSched2.pdf. But if you can't make it, the race will be carried on the cable SPEED channel from 12:00 to 15:00 EDT on Saturday, May 3rd.

Now that is cool. I'm an AMSAT and a Ford guy. I have three Ford's, including 2 Mustangs, one of which is my pride and joy, a 2007 Roush 427R.
