Name dropping on Wind Tunnel last night

[Jimal Temus]

During last night's "Wind Tunnel" with Dave Despain:

"Dave from Portland" called in, asking about whether anyone pays attention to guys who do well in the Skip Barber and Jim Russell Race Series. Probing further for the inevitable name drop, "Dave from Portland" mentioned '03 Western Series Champ (and occasional instructor/mechanic) Ricky Schmidt and last year's Western Series runner-up Adam Tran. Sounds like Dave from Portland has been working with both drivers in some capacity, helping them where he can.

Seeing how Ricky and Adam are both my guys, I was interested in hearing what "Dave from Portland" had to say. I'll have to give those a call when I get to the office to see what's what.
