Teamjuicyracing.com hits two years old!

[MJAmok]

Where were you two years ago?

More than likely, you were NOT on Team Juicy. In fact, you didn't have an outlet to make fun of your friend's age, weight or lack of speed. You didn't have a place to celebrate their triumphs both on and off track. And, you didn't have a familiar and trusted source for news, information, and guidance about this wonderful obsession of ours.

That is because two years ago today, was the official launch of this fabulous on line clubhouse. Only about 100 lucky souls were the recipients of the Official news release! (see copy below!)

This site has come a long way since its launch, thanks to everyone who posts their insights, joys, fears, and talents. And, of course, thanks to Sy's ongoing dedication to tinker, tweak, and refine what we all have come to rely on for a frequent respite from the real world.

Perhaps what I am most impressed by though is the fact that after 2 years, 300 plus members, over 1000 threads, and countless 'hits', this site has remained true to its original goals and intentions. Read the release below... it could have been written yesterday!

I look forward to sharing the next year and beyond with all of you. I can't wait to see what 2006 has in store for Team Juicy!

Press Release
(For immediate release)
February 4, 2004
 
New York
Team Juicy Racing is proud to announce the launch of its new interactive website.  Friends, fans and foes alike will enjoy this spectacular new site, which can be found at www.aryeh.com/juicy.
 
Juicy team members have been hard at work for months developing the site as well as its full range of content.  The site is full of insightful and creative articles that vividly portray the more colorful and secretive side of our activities, descriptions of which are entirely inappropriate for conventional news sources like Skip Barber’s website. Team co-founder and site developer Sy Aryeh says, "This new site provides members and fans of our favorite team with a great way to keep in touch with the hysterical triumphs and travails of our racers".     

At the site you can find news of the team's adventures in racecars, go-karts and everything else that goes fast, as they travel the country everywhere from Laguna Seca to F1 Boston and from Lime Rock Park to "some crappy place in North Carolina,” looking for adventure, competition, depravity and camaraderie (not necessarily in that order.)
 
The site reveals the true spirit of our racers.... thrill seeking, self-deprecating, dysfunctional and overly competitive guys with much too much time on their hands.
 
Juicy's other co-founder Michael Auriemma says, "Sure we think we're cool...but we're not unwilling to take shots at ourselves, either... Check out 'Anatomy of a Crash' or 'Team Juicy Racers Star (and Crash) on Discovery Channel' to see what I mean".
 
Team Juicy promises to keep its site fresh with articles by such critically acclaimed writers as Donald McDonald, Martin Birkmann, Walter Irvine, and Bill Hammer.  Articles are already planned for upcoming events such as the “Intentional 4-Off" boys 4-wheelin’ weekend event in VT, and the "Just cause he's 40, don't mean he's old" LA to Vegas Harley trip in October.  Not to mention full coverage of a season's worth of Skip Barber racing!

Furthermore, we have created the first interactive forum (bulletin board) that specifically caters to the Skip Barber Race Series, providing racers and Skip Barber staff with a common social meeting point, and in time an invaluable resource for information.
 
We invite you to visit our site...you'll be glad you did!
 

  
Team Juicy racing is "a loose affiliation of millionaires, and billionaires, and babies” (-Paul Simon) on a mission to go faster than the other guy.  We are inspired by our spiritual leader, whose visage is emblazoned on our site and our helmet visors.  

If you want to know more about us, learn about upcoming events, or if you think you might want to join the team and/or contribute creatively, contact us at: Sy@Aryeh.com or Michael.Auriemma@AuriemmaConsulting.com.

Thanks Michael,

Yes, TJR has come a long way and it should not be forgotten that you were there as a co-founder at the beginning... Little did you know... where all this would go.

I wish I had the MJAmok original email that started this. . . something about lust and another driver's (step) mother as I recal. :-)l

All I know is that since this site was started, the Red Sox have won the World Series.

It is called balance in the Universe. For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.

Michael, Can you do something for the Cubs?

Favorite balancing of the universe newspaper headline from that day... "Hell Freezes Over!".
