Well here we are almost at the end of January and 2011 has already kicked off. Crazy. Larsen Motorsports has a lot of very cool things on the horizon, but we have to make sure and keep focused on what is in front of us first. So, what has been going on, LOTS. I flew out to Nashville to meet up with Miller Marketing to do a TV show called Power Block TV which airs on Spike. We were asked to bring the Miller Jet Dragster and myself for a couple of days of shooting. Sounded like fun. When I was telling people of my plans all I heard was "you get to meet Courtney Hansen, she is HOT!!!" Not wow, you get to go and see the Muscle Car, Trucks, Xtreme 4x4, and Horsepower stages and see what goes on behind the scenes. Crazy boys!!!! Anyway, I flew in and meet up with Travis from the Road show and Vickie from Marketing. We loaded in the car at the Power Block studios and got the tour. Very very cool. It was impressive to see that the sets were as cool in real life as they are on TV. A lot of work goes on in the studios, it isn't just shipped out and the brought back to the show. I would have loved to have taken pictures, but of course, they won't let you do that, which I totally understand. Sorry!!!
Anyway for those of you that want to know, No Courtney was not there on the the first day. The next morning and we were back at the Studios. You could feel the difference in the air on filming day. Time for hair and make-up and before you knew it my turn had come. Here is your Courtney scoop, she is as pretty in real life as she is on TV. Very tall and beautiful. But here is the best part, she is really nice and knows her stuff!!!! We had a blast talking to each other, and I was so impressed when I walked away. All of the camera guys and the producers were great and a lot of fun to work with. Now the guy who put my mike on, I have to wonder about him!!! wink wink!!!
We shot our part and then it was time for some photos. I will post the photos that they send to me as soon as I get them in. The show will air March 19-20 on Spike Network during the Power Block time in the morning. I hope that you will watch.
Back to the airport and time to fly out as we had a Military Days to set up for the next day. It was at University High School in Orange City, FL We brought out the brand new 2011 Embry-Riddle Jet Dragster to help recruit students. It rained on Friday, but it didn't matter, the students still came out and asked a lot of great questions. We loaded the dragster up and hit the road. 2 events done already.
The check list is long for 2011, but if we just keep marking them off, things will get done. My 2011 schedule is going to be posted, so make sure you mark your calenders and come out to support us. I am going to be adding some merchandise to my website soon as well.
