Grassroots Motorsports: A Family Affair

One of the best parts about going to the GRM UTC Challenge was getting to meet and hang out with the Grassroots Motorsports crew. Publisher Tim Suddard (center) has a lot more than a magazine–he has a great family and and amazing group of people working for him. Tim’s wife Marjorie (GRM General Manager–left) and Scott (GRM Club Editor–right) helped man the booth and made sure the event went off as planned. Tim and family travel to races in a large air conditioned mobile home, towing the little Tracker you see in the background. The kids come along, too (while we were there, Tommy put a ride page together for his new Triumph Spitfire project car) and so does the family cat. The Suddards come prepared with tons of food and drink–water, soda, watermelon, sandwich fixings, and later, burgers and plenty of beer. Unfortunately David couldn’t make it–he had to stay back at the office in Florida to make sure the newest issue of Classic Motorsports got out in time. Hopefully I’ll meet him at SEMA in a few months. So stay tuned for more from CarDomain and Grassroots. The $2007 Challenge is just around the corner…
