ミーティング初日

今日は午前中はホテルのレストランでミーティングについての打ち合わせ。お昼にインディアナポリスの北にある街のレストランで、スポンサー候補の会社とランチミーティング。ミーティングはそこそこうまくいき、来季に向けてようやく歩き始めてかなって感じです。まだまだ最初のステップを踏み始めただけなので、どうなるかわかりませんがチャレンジし続けるしかないですもんね！！

I had a breakfast at the hotel and had a brief meeting before we met with our prospect sponsors for lunch. We met at this place in North side of Indianapolis and I was surprised with how new and clean that community was. The lunch meeting went pretty well and we were able to introduce each other and we finally were able to get the first step away. However, we still have a lot of work to do in order to make the deal happen and we need to make sure that we can tailor a program that will fit everyone's need especially when we are dealing big money from sponsors.

夕方は今年インディー５００に参戦したDreyer&Reinboldチームに顔をだしました。来季に向けての準備やスタッフのリクルートなどかなりドタバタしてましたが、色んな噂話をして帰ってきました。いや〜しかし、久しぶりにレーシングカーを見ると乗りたくなっちゃいますね！！身体がムズムズしてきたのでホテルで筋トレですね！！

After the meeting, I stopped by the Dreyer & Reinbold Racing shop who I raced for at this year's Indy 500. They are remodeling the office and trying to work on the plan for next season and looked really busy. I think they are definitely headed to the right direction and will come back next year even stronger. I talked with my engineer from this year and we chatted about several gossips about next year. It's that time for silly season again...!?!
