The team makes the car available for public events and distributes thousands of hero cards with the warning signs of diabetes printed on the back in English and Spanish. "Reliable tires are key to keeping us competitive and in the race, particularly when a flat can mean the difference between winning and losing said Mike Aquino, co-founder of Desert Dingo Racing.
