I would like to thank Terry McMillen for not just being a great host to me at the Dallas Raceway Park IHRA Event, but also for being such a great role model not only in the sport of racing, but outside of it as well. I wish you and your team all the success in the world. - Alex Brown

Comp2Kids auction winners spend weekend in Dallas
For the second season in a row, Terry McMillen and the Hoosier Thunder Motorsports team have donated a weekend racing trip to the Comp2Kids organization.

For the second year in a row Greg Tusar of Goldman Sachs has been the winning bidder. Greg has generously donated his auction item to Adrian and Alex Brown of Houston Texas.


"We consider Adrian and Alex a lucky charm," McMillen said. McMillen has piloted the Amalie Oil / Wolverine Boots and Apparel dragster to runner-up finishes in both the events that the Brown's have attended.

Adrian and Alex forwarded this letter to our team:




Terry and Rhonda,

Thank you both very much for providing another wonderful motorsports weekend for Alex and me on May 30 and 31 at the IHRA Amalie Oil Texas Nationals at Dallas Dragway.

We were thrilled with your team's reaching the top fuel final round for two years in a row. We also personally appreciate your very generous assistance, guidance and suggestions in the area of sponsorship development.

While Alex is currently very active and doing well in club level road racing in our Stohr F1000 formula car within the SCCA, when he gets to the skill level for joining an entry level pro series, substantial third party support will be necessary. An example of his start at self promotion, here is a URL under development for just one of his multimedia online sites, http://alexbrownracing.shutterfly.com . MySpace, Facebook, Vimeo, Blogspot, Flickr and other services also have his posts.

Because of your support of the Per Scholas Comp2Kids program, the organization will probably meet its goal of providing 20,000 computers by the year 2012 to children and teachers in the New York City area, who otherwise would not have access to or be able to acquire them. Our benefactor who won your donated weekend at the May Auction4Kids event at the New York Stock Exchange was our family friend, Greg Tusar, a member of the Board of Per Scholas.

Best of luck for the remainder of the 2009 IHRA and NHRA season.

Adrian and Alex Brown

PCA Maverick Region at Eagles Canyon Raceway March 7-8 2009

Eagles Canyon Raceway (March 8, 2009) - The 551 Lotus Elise driven by Alex Brown had a rough weekend at its debut event at Eagles Canyon Raceway. My first run session went kind of slow due to brake pad fade, which I got taken care of before the start of my second run session. The second session started out well, but halfway through I started to smell smoke. At first I thought it was the car I was following, but as soon as I saw the corner workers holding up fire extinguishers and black flags, I concluded that it was my car that had the problem. I slowly brought the Lotus back to pit lane where workers were waiting for me with fire bottles. After checking the car, the workers told me that my car had been on fire. I immediately brought the car to PST (Performance Speed Tech) who were providing onsite trackside support. PST came up with some reasons my car caught fire. The car did not go back on track for the rest of the day. The next day the car missed the morning sessions(due to the car being worked on) but was back on track for both of the afternoon ones. All in all it was a very strage weekend. Fastest time of the weekend was a 2:5.9 Not bad after missing a number of track sessions during the weekend. I would just like to thank PST for the great job of getting the car back on track.
