Although I\u2019m not super big into Valentine stuff my girlfriend talked me into getting couples\u2019 massages and pedicures. In related news, I\u2019ve been watching the Bachelor every Monday night (I haven\u2019t seen my \u201cman card\u201d since 2013). Now, before you knock it, just read this description of the Bachelor: \u201c20+ unbelievably good looking girls attempt to hook up with some lucky dude (It\u2019s OK, your girlfriend\/wife thinks they\u2019re good looking too). Each season comes complete with at least 15 girl fights and two bikini episodes.\u201d I highly recommend everyone gives it a try. Well, I just realized my opening paragraph is basically just a review of my most recent Tweets. It\u2019s time to plunge into some new material.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/teamusascholarship.org\/?attachment_id=3320\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-3320\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignright size-medium wp-image-3320\" title=\"Team Pelfrey\" src=\"http:\/\/teamusascholarship.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/Team-Pelfrey-300x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"http:\/\/teamusascholarship.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/Team-Pelfrey-300x300.jpg 300w, http:\/\/teamusascholarship.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/Team-Pelfrey-150x150.jpg 150w, http:\/\/teamusascholarship.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/Team-Pelfrey-130x130.jpg 130w, http:\/\/teamusascholarship.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/Team-Pelfrey-60x60.jpg 60w, http:\/\/teamusascholarship.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/Team-Pelfrey.jpg 470w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a>My 2016 season is already well underway. As you might know by now, I\u2019ll be competing in the Pro Mazda Championship Presented by Cooper Tires, and I have had five days of testing already with Team Pelfrey. I\u2019ve had some full wet sessions, damp sessions and perfectly dry sessions. I\u2019m already feeling more comfortable at Team Pelfrey than laying on the couch watching Netflix. All the Pelfrey guys and my teammate, Weiron Tan, have been gelling flawlessly. I am seriously stoked to have \u201cRon\u201d (Weiron) as a teammate. He was extremely quick last year so I know he\u2019s going to bring a lot to the table to help us have an awesome season. Plus, Ron and I have already had a glorious teammate bonding experience when we had a little road trip back to Tampa after testing in Palm Beach. We stopped at Taco Bell and Ron got to experience his first ever \u201cCrunch Wrap Supreme.\u201d We also jammed out to all our favorite childhood songs from the late \u201990s and early 2000s. It\u2019s pretty amazing how you can be from completely different parts of the world but music can still bring you together. We are all extremely motivated and are well on our way to a successful first race weekend at St. Pete in a little under a month!<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/teamusascholarship.org\/?attachment_id=3318\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-3318\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-3318\" title=\"23054676883_824520f93f_z\" src=\"http:\/\/teamusascholarship.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/23054676883_824520f93f_z-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" srcset=\"http:\/\/teamusascholarship.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/23054676883_824520f93f_z-300x200.jpg 300w, http:\/\/teamusascholarship.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/23054676883_824520f93f_z.jpg 640w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a>Before then we still have two more private test days and the series test at Barber Motorsports Park. I\u2019m looking forward to continuing to build great relationships within the team to hit the ground running at St. Pete.<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019d like to give a massive thanks to my primary partner Rice Lake Weighing Systems who has been with me for the past three seasons and will continue to support me in 2016. It gives me an extreme amount of pride to be able to represent a company from northern Wisconsin and to see our partnership continue to grow. A huge thanks goes out to all of my supporters for 2016 including Rising Star Racing, PennGrade Motor Oil, The Fred Thomas Resort, Team USA Scholarship, <a href=\"http:\/\/safeisfast.com\" target=\"_blank\">SAFEisFAST.com<\/a>, Mazda, Cooper Tires, my parents, and all of you!<\/p>\n<p>You guys rock,<br \/>\nAaron<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>MOUNDS VIEW, Minn. \u2013 I sincerely hope everyone had a great Valentine\u2019s Day weekend.
