Daytona Speed Weeks - what a wonderul week of weather and rac- ing it was for Mark and I! We attended 5 races at Daytona
Internation Speedway and one race at New Smyrna. The first race we sat in the grandstands, and the other 4 at DIS we were in the infield. What a great place to experience the race! We met so many passionate race fans and made new friends that we will make sure to spend time with again next year! I handed out over 400 of our IWMA/Racing Girls Rock bracelets and infomation cards.

met little girls and women of all ages who love racing! The IWMA received many new followers on social media, and I’ve connected with many women who are interested in being featured in the magazine and on our podcast. I loved every minute of meeting them, and of course we had no complaints about the weather! My bucket list is to see a race at every major NASCAR track, and just marked another one off the list. The next race will be in Fontana, CA at Auto Club Speedway.
Reminder to our members that on Wednesdays from 8-9pm Eastern time, I am offering a free webinar class via the zoom.us platform. The webinar
will discuss any topics of interest to our members, including but not limited to branding, social media, marketing part- ners, and much more. Email links will be sent to our members prior to each week’s webinar. We hope you will join us, but if you are unable to, we will be recording it.
Reminder to share your racing photos to our FB and Instagram pages from your weekly races.
I am putting my summer sched- ule together, so if your track has an event that I could attend and meet a great number of the women involved at your track, please send me an email at iwmanation@gmail.com
