When Scott reached out to me about a racing community gift for Grant's birthday, I was all in. If you don't know our co-founder, teammate and all-around good guy, Grant White, then you don't know Spectro Racing.
Grant is an avid autocrosser and car enthusiast. You'll regularly find Grant running his bright red mustang with a big black wing with JaxSolo, CFR and DriveFast autocross groups. You'll also see Grant's boyish good looks in some of Spectro Racing's most notable videos (just look for the beard) such as "Built vs Bought", How-to Instructional videos, and our most popular video "Jeep vs Porsche"!
On the morning of his birthday Grant was greeted with a Facebook post from his best friend & Spectro Racing Co-Founder, Scott McMurry:
"Happy birthday to my best friend and Spectro Racing co-founder, Grant White. We, members of the SR community and friends from autocross and beyond, thought it would be fun to send you to the Richard Petty Driving Experience. With help from Ben Bulthuis, Elias Bond Clayton, Michael Calamaras, Jason Olynik, Scott Ferebee IV, Nate Eissler, Lisa Keyes, Jon Silverman, Mr. and Mrs. Jim Stephens, Ash Gravely, Mohammad Rasheid, and David Lineberry, we got you a $600 gift card to fully pay for the Rookie Experience. You'll get to drive 8 laps around Daytona in someone else's car! HAPPY BIRTHDAY!! (PS the gift card is in the mail)"
We always talk about the camaraderie you find in the grassroots racing community, whether its car help, racing guidance, or post-raceday dinners at a local taco joint; but this shows a new level of our community - friendship.
Our mission is to bring together global community of racing and automotive enthusiasts to celebrate Motorsport.
We are Spectro Racing!
- Michael
