Racing, then walking...

Since, as in racing itself, we are always looking forward, let's consider what we'll be doing after the Lexus Grand American 250 Grand Am Cup race this Saturday...

Early Sunday morning, just a few hours before the green flag drops on the Grand American Rolex Sports Car Series season-ending Lexus Grand American 400k at California Speedway, race fans and competitors (one will be me!) will have the rare opportunity to walk the 2.88-mile road circuit during the 13th Annual Inland Empire Heart Walk.

The event gets underway at 7:30 a.m. on Sunday, October 31, five-and-a-half hours before the final battles for Rolex Series supremacy begin. The goal of the event is to raise $650,000 for the Inland Empire American Heart Association from race fans, heart disease and stroke survivors and community members who will participate in the three-mile fun walk. Participation supports cardiovascular and stroke community education and research.

Certainly a worthy cause...now if I could just hang around on the track and find an empty Daytona Prototype to jump into for the 400... ;)
