175 cm, brand new full carbon fiber Nordic ski poles! For me for my birthday. Bonus round name the racing team from which the umbrella came from. Hint the owner is still fielding a team in a form of open wheel racing.

Pols and an umbrella

I hope to do a lot more skating this year, stay skinny and not put in 5 lbs from eating pizza at the restaurant on the ski hill.

Different Haas. Carl Haas who ran the Indycar team passed away in 2016. No relation to Gene Haas who owns the Haas F1 team.

My dad was a big Mario Andretti fan, didn’t like Nigel Mansell when he came over and raced for them.

I don’t think many like mansel he had that F1 attitude. I met Christian, Michael, and even stood in the vicinity of Paul Newman.
