Sam is a great guy and a true advocate for SCI. Last week the SSPF held their 10th annual Racing to Recovery Gala here in Indianapolis. For the last several years I have had the privilege to lead the group of volunteers for this event. It’s a real who’s who on the Indy scene and a whole lot of fun. This year we used wireless hand held bidding technology for the silent auction. It was very high tech, and we raised a lot of money for the foundations SCI efforts. Maybe I’ll post some pictures of the event in the forums. Wishing Sam and his team the best for the upcoming Indy 500.
