IMSA Long Beach Today

Here is a shout out to The Heart of Racing Team from Seattle. Congrats on the win today! Don Kitch Jr. was one of the founders and my instructor at Proformance Racing School. He is admittedly a 911 guy and I a Z06 which I used during the school. It was cold and I wore my Dale Earnhardt jacket to class and he proceed to tell everyone about his one and only meeting with Sr at the 2001 Rolex 24hr. Said he was at the dinner event for all the sponsors, drivers, etc and left something the garage. As he went to retrieve it he said Sr was approaching from the other direction and when they got close he splashed his water bottle on Don's crotch. They were all in suits mind you. He said he just stood there in disbelief and Sr turned around and lowered those glasses and and gave him a smile. I can see having to explain to everyone why your suit is wet but wow the memory. The fact that Sr left us shortly afterewards made his telling of the story to everyone but directed to me was very touching since it was 2004 and still fresh to me. Then class started and he busted my ass all day afterwards. Tell that guy in the blue vette to quit spinning his tires on my track would come over the radio. I had another instructor tell me to tell him he is envious because his little 911 can't do it which I did when I got back to the pits. Don you're a class act and I hope you have continued success.
