We have been invited to meet the Gelles Racing Team at the Denver Grand Prix tomorrow to talk to the drivers and see their cars. Gelles runs a tiered racing team, with a large presence in Formula BMW, 2 cars in Formula Atlantic, and will also field a ChampCar team next year. Many of their drivers are top karting graduates.
This opportunity is particularly for our Junior and KidKart drivers, but is open to any of the karters.
I suggest we meet at the Rotax booth in the Expo area at 12:15 so we can be at Gelles’s pit by 12:30. My cell is 970/215-3093 if needed.
Hope to see lots of you there.
Arg. I missed this. My dad and I are volunteering this year over at the Mile High Club (between turn 1 &2). Any chance we can have a 2nd round of this? I’d like to meet the team. 8)
Jon –
Hopefully you got to go meet the Gelles team anyway, as the Formula BMW pits were open to the public.
We had a pretty decent sized group go over, met (very briefly) with Bob Gelles, and talked with Marc Zartarian (KRT kart importer and father of John, one of Gelles’s drivers) for quite a while.
Found out what it costs to run this “feeder” series. 😯 😯
Hopefully we’ll be seeing one or more of our Colorado karters on one of the FBMW’s soon…8)
Thanks to all the families that made it.
