David, you and I have had many political conversations over the years and you always ask “what do you think”. Even with this life changing decision you include those of us who know you on a business and for many of us a level of friendship.
I believe you should go for it. Kirkham Motorsports is a great stable company and will run fine with Thomas and the guys. The difference between a good company and a great one is that the great one will continue to grow without the CEO. KMS falls under that category.
I think you are ready for this challenge. You have mastered business, family, civic duties, your well traveled, honest, professional and make killer cobras. Those virtues are perfect for our US Senate. Good Luck, Darren
