During our 2021 camping adventures - also known as racing the entire Hoosier Super Tour series - Jasper and I dreamed up this idea of helping people fulfill their racing dreams.
To do this, we have created an arrive and drive team and we're on a mission. We bring our 40 plus years of road racing experience to the table to provide an outstanding experience on and off the track. We are a three-car team, focused on helping new and experienced racers, women in motorsports and karters get inexpensive, professional on-track experience.
Jasper and I built a five-year plan. We're starting in ChampCar in the 2021 and 2022 seasons with a 1995 BMW 318i, a 1990 CRX with the heart of an Integra Type-R and a crazy contraption we call the Van! Just wait until you see what we have in store for 2023 and beyond!
We're looking forward to trying out a bunch of new tracks this year and revisiting some old favorites too! Come join us endurance racing! Follow Flying Ghost Racing Team on Facebook.

I've spent most of the last year writing down my thoughts on how to help club racers better market and brand both themselves and their teams.
It's been a great experience and I've learned a ton about book publishing. What to do again and what to avoid. I started each chapter with a little story about something in racing or in the corporate world. Here's a quick blurb from the back of the book:
Follow along as Fritz Wilke, former Fortune 500 marketer and long-time front-runner in the Sports Car Club of America’s top amateur road racing series, tells stories of marketing success and disaster from a club racer’s perspective. Use his practical, real-world tips to build your brand and achieve your goals.
You can turn your grassroots motorsports team into a brand of its own and create the branded image sponsors want. You’ll also discover how to open the right doors and build long-term partnerships. Whether you compete in road racing, circle track, endurance, drag racing, karting, off-road racing, motocross, or any other form of amateur motorsport, this book will help your grassroots team take off!
If you haven't already, please check out the book on Amazon and let me know what you think!!
Racers360, one of our longtime partners, is changing its name to Blayze!
Fritz Wilke - Author? Yep, That's Right!
Here's a note from Dion Von Moltke:
Later this year, we will be changing our name from the Racers360 you know and love to Blayze.
We want to tackle something right up front... only our name is changing and nothing else. We will have the same coaches, the same platform, the same owners and team working for Blayze.
So, why are we changing our name?
As we look forward to what's next as a company, we have realized the challenges we are solving are not motorsport specific. These same challenges exist throughout sports and beyond sports. Racing is in our heart and soul but as we grow and expand we needed a name that would scale with us into those markets.
From the bottom of our hearts we appreciate each and every one of you that have helped us turn Racers360 and now Blayze into a success. We can't wait to continue to build and grow with racing at the center of everything we do.
If you have any questions or concerns please don't hesitate to reach out to us directly, anytime, by emailing us at Team@Blayze.io.
Thank you,
Dion Von Moltke & the whole team at Racers360

This is so cool! We've teamed up with Walero from the UK to help promote their line of temperature regulating nomex.

We'll be putting Walero gear through its paces at our endurance team racing events in 2021 and 2022.
Here's a little more about Walero. Amazing technology!!
Walero temperature regulating base layers have been scientifically designed by drivers, for drivers!
Our flame retardant FIA approved racewear utilizes a NASA developed technology, Outlast® , to help regulate the body’s core temperature, reduce perspiration rates and even the hearts BPM.
