  A master passion is the love of news. – George Crabbe Hey, Just when life seems to calm slightly, someone tries a new mapping system in the computer and threatens the industry with disarray once more. Guess that keeps life stimulating. It’s like your pal who can’t keep a job. He goes to work anywhere with the best intentions, then his or her personality feeds into the mix. Soon there’s a problem. It’s one of our toughest challenges in life, to look in a mirror understand ourselves and change. Very demanding and tough, almost impossible in many situations. Folks mostly want to look outward, no inward. Let’s hit the news and watch as the chips fall over the next few weeks. Fortunately, our team is still intact and moving toward the New Year with a positive mantra. We are studying our Bagger audience with the help of David Campbell. CLICK here to read…

Seven-time land speed record holder and one of the world’s fastest BMW racers, Valerie Thompson, will return to Beeville Texas for the Texas Mile, October 24 – 26, her second visit to the event this year. Thompson set a personal best top speed of 212 mph during the March 2013 Texas Mile event on her record-setting CTEK Battery Charger sponsored BMW S 1000 RR. The Texas Mile is a bi-annual motorsports festival created in 2003 for high-performance vehicle enthusiasts, welcoming a wide variety of racing vehicles, including motorcycles, modified street cars and race cars. Participants come from all over North America to test themselves on one of the fastest and most challenging tracks in the world. “I really enjoy racing at the Texas Mile. It’s a very well run event and the one-mile track is smooth as silk. We were here for this year’s March event, but were rained out,” said Thompson. “We’ve made a lot of improvements to my BMW since March, earning two new land speed records at the Ohio Mile and Bonneville. Our team is very hopeful I can break my 212 mph mark, weather permitting. Thompson’s team will be providing free battery charging services for competitors and race attendees at their pit display during the three-day speed festival, compliments of her primary sponsor, CTEK Battery Chargers. The Texas Mile is held at Chase Field Industrial Complex at 2745 Byrd Street in Beeville, Texas. For ticket prices and event schedule, visit http://www.texasmile.net.
