DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. (Sept. 5, 2012) - The most significant development in the history of sports car racing in North America was announced today, with plans for a landmark merger of GRAND-AM Road Racing and the American Le Mans Series (ALMS) unveiled at Daytona International Speedway.
Under terms of the merger, the following entities will combine with GRAND-AM: the American Le Mans Series; the International Motor Sports Association, which sanctions ALMS events; the Road Atlanta race track facility in Braselton, Ga.; the Chateau Elan Hotel and Conference Center in Sebring, Fla.; and Sebring International Raceway, via a reassignment of the lease agreement with the Sebring Airport Authority to operate the raceway.
Both sanctioning bodies will continue to operate separate schedules in 2013 before racing under one banner in 2014 beginning with North America's premier sports car race, the 52nd annual Rolex 24 At Daytona. A board of directors has been formed to operate the new combined organization with GRANDAM founder Jim France as chairman and ALMS founder Don Panoz as vice chairman. Other members: NASCAR Vice Chair/Executive Vice President Lesa France Kennedy, GRAND-AM President/CEO Ed Bennett, ALMS President/CEO Scott Atherton and NASCAR Vice President/Deputy General Counsel Karen Leetzow.
"Today's announcement will transform sports car racing on this continent, along with having world-wide industry implications," said Bennett. "Aside from the organizations involved, everybody wins: drivers, teams, manufacturers, sponsors, tracks - and most all, the fans. Full Story >>>

That was a good watch. I really like the delta car. Very unique for a company to test a prototype like that in a pro racing series. The car has no official standing, but it's been doing very well so far.

I just took classes on how to 'cilvilianize' my resume. I think that was a big problem with my experience list. Everything was geared towards military leadership/management. Now that it's more civilian friendly, I should be good to go. Thankfully, I plan on remaining in the corrections industry, so a lot of my skills are transferrable.
