Photoshoot: Dine & Drive event with Patrick Dempsey, Garth Stein & Don Kitch
I recently had the opportunity to go to the Dine & Drive event thanks to the generosity of Motoring Unlimited, a local shop in the area. This event was being held for Team Seattle to raise funds so they could compete once again in the Lemans 24 hour event using Ferraris this year. They also held this charity event in collaboration with Dempsey Racing at the local racetrack, Pacific Raceway here in Washington. Everyone who attended were given a 3 lap ride in pair of Ferrari 599 HGTEs and another pair of California generously donated by Ferrari of North America for this event. Afterwards we had dinner where Don Kitch of ProFormance Racing spoke of his need for funds this year followed by Patrick Dempsey who spoke of his organization and what they did for cancer research for children across America. It was truly an inspiring event for all that attended. I had a great time especially riding with Joe, one of the drivers for from Dempsey Racing. Garth Stein, author of mone of my favorite novels, "The Art of Racing in the Rain" was also present too. Everyone picked up his autographed novel as well as a autographed group picture of all of us at this event too.
Patrick Dempsey was driving this one
A nice matched pair
One of two
Our dinner presentation was held here
Checking everyone in
Stunning in tDF blue!
The brakes were literally smoking every time the 599s came back in
My turn next!
I was ready!
Ready to go
I was impressed how well the 599s did despite its size
Everyone was all smiles after their hot laps
From what I hear, Patrick was a great driver
Every time Patrick came in, someone (including me) would snap pictures of him
Trying to stay dry
At speed
A matched pair
A bag of goodies for everyone
Getting together for the group picture
Me and Patrick

Did you think I'd forget to share the video. Don't mind my shocked expression somewhere in there. I was having fun!
