An absolutely wonderful dinner was provided by Barrier Motors, and included a tossed green salad, Chicken breasts stuffed with Ricotta cheese, baked Salmon, Grilled asparagus and fingerling potatoes.
Shortly after everyone had sat down to eat, Frank managed to establish a connection with Patrick Dempsey via Skype. Team Seattle principal, Don Kitch Jr., spoke briefly with his teammate about the challenges that they face in France as well as the importance of Team Seattle's involvement in 24 Hours of Le Mans.
Following dinner, Frank spoke to the audience about the need for continued support through the 'My Face Raced Le Mans' program, as well as Microsoft's involvement in Team Seattle.
A great event that is certain to be followed by a successful campaign at Le Mans! Stay tuned for exclusive coverage of Team Seattle and our trip to the 2009 24 Hours of Le Mans.
