My Weekend with the Zapata team
I had so much fun this weekend. I saw cars I have never seen in person before, and to top that we saw them doing exactly what they were designed to do. Carl, is my partner with the Minis and is a racing enthusiast. I am going to Road Atlanta in October to film again and can't wait.
