R & D In California and team meeting October 30

I know, I know, its been a few weeks since I've updated this blog, but I have a few good reasons. As the Andersen Racing regular season ended this past September, we were all hard charging in to this autumn to get caught up on engine performance and chassis selection for the 2011 racing year. As such, I've just completed about 25% of what needs to be done in regard to development on our rotax motor program. Although we are not modifying anything internally with the engines, we are matching up all of the components to better optimize each of our engines' performances. As the rotax program continues to grow worldwide, the material selection criteria of each engine package with Andersen Racing has become more crucial. We simply have to have the best for our drivers, and it's going to take a little searching around. Later this year, I will be visiting Swedetech racing to continue our 'development' for both our team and along side Swedetech's personnel. Needless to say that so far, I've found some remarkable things based on the data shown and will look to find a lot more when I return!

There's so much to update all of our team mates on as for what's happening next year, that I've called for a team meeting October 30th and 31st. On Saturday October 30th, our meeting will officially start at 6pm and last between one and two hours. After that, everyone is welcome to join some of the staff for dinner at one of our favorite Japanese restaurants. On Sunday the 31st, drivers can elect to stick around for the day and drive on the Andersen RacePark Track with our team karts. This may give our newer drivers a chance to meet each other more openly and learn how we all drive on track. It will also give me a 'heads up' on how the team is going to interact as a whole, and if any modifications need to be made to the roster for the new season. I am making this meeting mandatory for anyone who wishes to participate on the Andersen Racing team for next year. We are all aiming for higher goals in the coming season, so everyone needs to know what they are getting in to if they decide to join the Andersen Team.

Here are some important dates to REMEMBER!

October 30 and 31 - Andersen Racing Team Mandatory Meeting in Palmetto RacePark Florida. (Sat starts @ 6pm)
