Team Information
- JORGE
DIAZ JR RACING TEAM
The
team consists of Jorge Diaz Sr, Millo Martinez, Carlos Martinez,
Oscar Martinez, Diego Martinez, Edgardo Baerga, Babi Martinez and me, the driver.
Jorge
Diaz Sr is my father. He is the team owner and the person
with the heart of gold. Thanks to him I find myself behind the
wheel of a race car and to his teachings I find myself with my
ability. He is in charge of making sure that everything is working
even before the race is announced. Thanks to his dedication we
find ourselves prepared and never in a hurry. He is also the voice
that guides me during the race through the in car radio system.
He lets me know the lap times and when to speed up or head out
at full potential. Kamikaze is the name we use to head out at
full potential.
Millo Martinez is the head mechanic and crew chief. He
makes sure the car responds so that it can be taken to the limit,
guides the work on hand and makes sure every part of the car is
at its peek of potential. He is great at making sure that when
I feel the car with unbalanced inertia, either turning, braking,
accelerating, or top speed that the problem is fixed quickly and
professionally.
Carlos Martinez is a brother of Millo who just like his brother
has learned a great deal about automobiles. He has a keen eye
in finding the causes of any problems that might persist and the
solutions. He is calm and gets the job done to perfection.
Oscar Martinez is a son of Millo who is a very fast mechanic
that probably would hold a few records in speed and agility. He
can bend, stretch and reach his way through any part of the car
and climb or crawl through any side or place and fix anything
fast.
Babi Martinez works mostly on brakes, suspension and
partially on the engine. He is one of the fastest guys in the team
changing tires, with emergency work and getting everything
organized when time is crucial.
Edgardo Baerga is the man of time. He helps with any work
needed before the race, but when the race starts he grabs the
time chart and glues his eye to my car. He can keep the time of
at least three cars and know what happened in every lap. I find
the chart impressive by the end of the race. So, lets see, I was
a bit slower on such a lap because such a car was blocking, but
passed on the straightaway, and my time was such, his was such
and the guy behind was such. That sounds like his chart.

ALWAYS
IN OUR MEMORIES
Diego
Martinez one of the younger sons of Millo Martinez. Due to
cancer he passed away. We race in Diego's
memory. Diego will always be in our thoughts. Diego was the king
of electronics on our race car and all around perfect friend.
Diego will always be missed and will still be accounted for as
a team member.

Although
I wrote a little bit about the team I think that most importantly
is that they all work like a team should. The key to this team
is the dedication, teamwork, and communication we are accustomed
to. Everyone reports to Millo, he knows were everyone is, what
they are doing, and what has to be done. This way we do not miss
anything, or any time. In this fashion we can also have everyone
working evenly and ready for the next task.
