Day At The Races

On Saturday, June 21st, (summer solstice) I was a guest of Pirelli Tires at the EMCO Grand Am 2008 Races at Mid-Ohio Race Course in Lexington, Ohio.  Pirelli hired Brulant as a partner in interactive marketing the day before and several Brulant associates were Pirelli's VIP guests at the races.  Just after the race began, it started to rain, causing several crashes and skid-outs.  We had access to Pit Row during the action and got to view the excitement up-close.  Afterward, we were invited to stand on the Winner's Podium for pictures.  The race lasted approximately 2.5 hours and the cars averaged in excess of 150 mph over the 3.5 mile course.
