Launching My Race Team Garage iD - #71
Garage iD podiums at the Miami 500 FARAUSA Race!
Itβs impossible for (even me) to fully communicate the experience I had this past weekend. Weβve been working so hard in 2024 to launch the Garage iD technology platform, closing partnerships with major sponsors/vendors/advertisers, and ship the first LIVE production version with our first race series, FARAUSA.
Icing on the cake? Senter Smith, driving the #55 car qualified P4 and finished P7. Our sister car, driven by Todd Buras #56 finished P3 in race 3! The cars held up great, we only had to change #55 tranny after race 1 and throw on new stickies. A small issue with the clutch hit us before race 2, so that cut off our qualifying a bit, but overall, an almost flawless 3 races.
And, we brought the cars home!
Three full amazing races, a technology platform working (well), user growth exploding, partnerships, networks, opportunities, and men and women alike resonating with what Garage iD is built for:
Drivers who want to race and find sponsorship, licensing, track days, and teams.
Teams who want to manage their cars, drivers, sponsors, data, and QR code digital tech inspection (big deal! no more paper tech!).
Racing series who want maximum media exposure, attendee management, and cheaper costs.
Garage iD delivered when it mattered most on race weekend. Weβre set on being the gravitational center of the racing world.
Iβm so proud of our investment into Garage iD, our combined efforts to deliver a quality product, and enhance race-day experiences for attendees, drivers, teams, and race management. If you follow my X, you can find the entire experience in the feed. Iβll warn you though, I yell a lot because Iβm living my best life.
Bucket List Checked Off
There is always a healthy balance between two ideas:
communicate often
stfu
I like to say βtell none until the work is done.β This was one of those times. Itβs impossible for me to share how much of a lift this was for the GiD team (and me). This is truly a bucket list moment for me.
Invest in a racing technology product
Build a race team around it
Partner with the fastest growing racing series (with many more series coming online soon)!
Race my cars with drivers I love and respect
Podium at a pro race
Gawd. I am living!!!
Iβve done it. WE did it.
