On Friday, Sept 30, I had the pleasure of attending the Mazda/SCCA Pro Racing Awards Banquet at Infinite Energy Center. 

It was great to see old friends like Mike Collins the new SCCA president and meet a fellow Louisiana girl, Sarah Montgomery, the 22-year-old Global Mazda MX-5 driver. 

The winning vibe and high energy could be felt throughout the evening.
