We just landed in South Dakota and are dedicating this storm chase and all future storm chases to the #1 storm chasing dog, Gizmo. Dominator Fore is targeting the Hoven, SD area
I am devastated to share that the love of my life, Gizmo, has passed away at the age of 17. We shared so many memories and storm chasing adventures together especially over the last 15 years. Gizmo chased over 200 tornadoes, category 5 hurricanes, and loved me unconditionally through some very hard times across hundreds of miles. We chased through the pandemic on fast-food living out of the Subaru. She beat cancer, ticks, flash floods, and was inside of a tornado with a broken leg / peg leg cast. She visited 48 states, dozens of National Parks, three Canadian provinces and was loved by many storm chasers. This will be a very difficult time
Someone told me last night “man that was a tough week for Trackhouse”.
I disagree. I think it was the finest hour in the history of our company.
I saw people come together as a TEAM with enthusiasm, positivity, grind, and execution. We had a lot of cars to fix and it wasn’t one team or another doing the work, it was all of Trackhouse working together. We had almost 100 guests and the partnership team executed flawlessly to create a fantastic experience for them. With so many story lines and sponsor messages, the social/digital and creative teams knocked it out of the park. All 4 racecars showed great speed. SVG proved how quick of a study he can be getting to the front early. What we threw at Helio was probably one of the toughest things a driver can do. And he handled the adversity with a huge smile and graciousness. Ross showed his talent per usual and Daniel, with the company on his shoulders late, took the moment and fought hard for his team with the grace and grind of a professional.
I am so proud of our company this morning and proud to be a fan of Trackhouse.
