- The Intentional Off-Road Challenge....4-Off's
A Must
From M Auriemma on Jan 26th: "Lots of you have been asking me about
putting together a 'Serious' 4-wheeling weekend. Ask and you shall recieve!"
Excellent,
I have a new Land Rover..
Next
line: "Defenders only....lesser vehicles need
not apply!"

OK,
that hurts.....but it's coming from a man who spun
in turn 1 at Daytona infield on his outlap in a treaded
tired school car in front of a gaggle of 3day customers.
So I called M Auriemma to inquire and was treated with
the same respect as he was shown when he pitted for
his 4-off- the mechanics asking me if he was stereotypic
of our eastern series competitors up north.
Now, a sanctioned event that everyone on the Team Juicy hot list has vast
experience in, driving off road, is coming to fruition. Imagine not only
going off, but staying off. No safety check. No dispertions from colleagues.
And no tar-and-feathering when you back-up on the track to re-enter. No
Todd Snyder saying "that wasn't s--t, you should have seen me at Moroso".
That's
right- serious off-roading with no in-car record,
tire walls or foreseeable CDR's to sign. Yes Dick
Lippert, it's pretty much heaven.
Some
may shy away from the concept of driving off road
but remember, this is intentional. Its an art.
You meant to do it. And its not like taking out
your frustration on a 5 year and his father and
then bragging about it. This is real man & machine
against the obstacles of nature.
The
1st Annual Intentional Off-Road Challenge will
be the beginning of something new and life changing-
the opportunity for any Team Juicy member or driver
(assuming you make Michael's cut and fit the criterion)
to do the unthinkable- compete with your peers
on surfaces that you are well acquainted with and
at the same time earn the respect that you've deserved
all along for doing so. Without penalty.

In
the words of SBRS LLC senior VP of Racing Davina
Galica: "'F' Michael Auriemma".
I'm going. I won't bring the Freelander and currently
negotiations are underway with racing legend, podium
sitter (editor's correction: MULTIPLE RACE WINNER)
and close personal friend Sy Aryeh to co-drive his
Hummer crushing Ford Bronco.
Hope any and all can make it. There will be corporate events key fobs
for all drivers. Free.
Up next:
The
Auriemma-Lite Lapping Clinic at Watkins Glen presented
by podium god William Hammer.
(Editors
note: Mr. Irvine misspelled the name of his own
employer. Makes you wonder why the 'F' they keep
him on board...)
