Motorsport Ranch

MotorSport Ranch is the first of its kind – a Country Club for motoring enthusiasts – including sports cars, race cars, and motorcycles. Established in 1996, the Ranch introduced and pioneered this new concept. Just as a golf country club centers its activities around a golf course, this club centers around a purpose-built road racing course. Two courses, actually, as a second road course has been added to the facility.

Think of MotorSport Ranch as a place that its members go to satisfy that “need for speed”. Many people own a sports or high performance car, or even a vintage race car. The Ranch is a place to explore the potential of these cars and for the drivers to develop and practice their skills. The Ranch offers convenience and accessability for its members who do are able to treat performance driving as a sport or a hobby.

• Practice driving skills on one of two road racing courses, a 1.7 mile and a 1.3 mile circuit
• Attend performance and safety driving schools
• Conduct a business meeting, then take your client for hot laps
• Participate in “gentlemen’s racing”
• Store your automobile at “The Ranch”
• Have your car professionally maintained

The facility is also home to numerous sports car related buisinesses catering to the enthusiasts.

MotorSport Ranch exists primarily for the enjoyment of its members, but a limited amount of time will also be made available to car clubs for their events.

Toyo Tires

Quality and Performance
For over 60 years, Toyo has been a world leader in the development of advanced technology in the design and production of tires. Toyo has an excellent reputation for building high-quality tires at a competitive price. Toyo product range includes everything from racing tires, ultra-high performance street tires, a great selection of light truck and off-road tires, and broad line tires for passenger cars.

Toyo Tires has been voted #1 in product quality for 8 years running in the annual Tire Review magazine survey of independent tire dealers – passenger/light truck segment. For a reprint of the survey highlights, call 877-299-8696.

Technology and Innovation
The same technology that makes Toyo tires perform under the grueling punishment of the track is engineered into every one of our tires. You can be confident that no matter how sudden the stop or sharp the turn, your Toyo tires will let you handle it like a pro.

Even before we build a tire for testing, our engineers examine the design using our revolutionary “T mode” computer analysis. Changes in the contact area between a moving tire and the road can be simulated and measured moment to moment in variable driving conditions. Those constant changes in contact area are important to you because they ultimately affect a tire’s performance.

Confidence In Our Products
Visit one of the hundreds of dealers nationwide to find the Toyo tire that’s right for you and take advantage of our “Experience the Difference in Quality Trial Offer.” If you are not completely satisfied with the performance of our tires, return them to the dealer for a full refund or replacement – even the choice of refund or replacement is yours. Visit your Toyo dealer for complete details and a list of eligible tires.

Verizon Fios

I have had many companies sponsor me with advertising space.  This can be a win win situation for all parties.  I think we can do that with Verizon Fios.  G3 and I went over this and G3 presented it to Jeff.  Jeff liked the concept but he doesn’t handle Fios.  He is going to contact the person that does and present the idea.  This could be really good because G3 could advertise his dealership and Infiniti could purchase the rest of the ad space.

Verizon Meeting!!

I had a hard time sleeping.  I kept going over what I was going to say.  I met up with G3 at the dealership at 9am.  We drove over together and just tried to get loose and easy going.  Jeff met with us but the regional people didn’t make it.  That was disappointing.  We spent a lot of time talking about Verizon and ourselves.  When we got to the meat of the proposal we only had 3 minutes.  So G3 rushed through our offer and what makes us different.  We didn’t know how much time we had and that was our fault.  We should have found out before we started.  All in all it was a good meeting.  While we were at the Verizon office, we met up with Bill for lunch.  He has been a big help to us and he loved our proposal.  Later in the day, Jeff called and said he was sorry he had to rush us.  He gave us a contact at Verizon Wireless.  I think we will get another meeting.

Verizon Last Day Before Meeting!!

I went up to the dealership to get everything in order.  I realized at the last minute that we needed to put our letter from Nissan in the proposal.  Darrin jumped on that and created a really cool page.  I think it is one of the best in the presentation.  After we had it all together, I went up to Kinkos and had them print it up and bind it.  That took awhile because Kinkos didn’t have some of the fonds on their computers.  Once I had the final proposal in my hands, I went back to the dealership.  G3 and I went over the proposal and discussed how we are going to present it.  We went page by page talking about every detail.  We are very prepared for this meeting and I can’t wait.

Verizon Sunday Night Phone Call

G3 called me around 8pm to go over the presentation.  We wanted to clean it up even more.  After all of this, it flows really well.  I think we have been a really good team putting this together.

Verizon Weekend Meeting

G3, Darrin and I met up at the dealership to put the proposal together.  Darrin finished the presentation and we made some changes.  All in all the proposal looks great.  I thin we are going to impress them.
