If you are a fan of satellite radio, like myself, you will be excited to know that Sirius and XM are merging in about a month.  That will give you access to more stations!  I also like listening to online satellite radio, gotta have my 80’s rock (hairnation) station!  There is a lot of good stuff on satellite radio, and you can drive all over the states and not lose the song you are listening to.  Cool.  Check out details of the merger at www.siriusmerger.com  or www.xmmerger.com 

We are just about to unveil our new Dad of the Month.  Todd Harris is a professional racecar driver and a good friend.  I have known Todd since 1999 when I went to his Prodrive Road Racing School.  We became friends and I have worked with Todd at Portland International Raceway for several years now.  I enjoy spending time with him because he is talented, genuine, intelligent and has a wide variety of interests. 

Todd was in a band, called The Vacant many years ago, plays the guitar and has an incredible knowledge of music.  If I ever hear a song and don’t know who the artist is, I ask Todd.  He is an incredibly gifted racecar driver as well.  Not only is he one of the fastest drivers in the country, he has the gift to be able to instruct and guide others.  A rare combination.

Todd also has a great family, very loving and supportive.  He and his wife have 2 beautiful boys who enjoy watching their Dad win most all of the races he competes in.  Last year Todd won the Rose Cup Trophy race, and will be defending his title again this year.  He dominates the SRF (Spec Racer Ford) SCCA series just about everywhere he goes.  He has raced in many different classes and types of cars, excelling in every one.

We are pleased to have Todd as our Dad of the Month!  Stay tuned for more promotions that include him and his company.   If you have seen our website, then you know that I have a passion for exotic cars.  Todd is the man to ask about your favorite supercar, as he has probably driven it extensively! 

His company, Prodrive, is one of our Dadsworld vendors.  Go to our members area and take advantage of his generous offer.  Visit his website at www.prodrive.net  Be sure to click on the top picture of the Ferrari 430 Challenge car, that will take you to an in-car video of Todd driving 3 laps at PIR.  Cool stuff!

Have a great April!
