North Bend, WA — The die is cast as they say. My son Joe and I are heading to one of the most famous car races in the history of automobile racing, LeMans. This is not just any LeMans — but the 75th running of the race.

I am, of course, just a dad who enjoys spending time with his son and since LeMans ends on Father’s day each year this is the ultimate Father’s day for me — and for Joe too. You should also know that Audi has dominated this event over the last seven or eight years and should also do so this year.

And you should know that my son is perhaps the complete “Audiphile”, a virtual walking encyclopedia of all known facts, past, present and future on the Audi. He drives a cherry 1994 S-6 and has been involved in motorsports since he was really old enough to walk.

That makes the event that much more special to us.

We are a little less than 60 days away from Joe getting on an airplane and heading for Paris and there are many details to take care of, most of which currently deal with where we are to stay.
More about that in future posts.
