While the greater Daytona Beach area dodged a knock-out punch by Hurricane Matthew, we definitely received a blow. As of Wednesday, October 12, the Grassroots Motorsports and Classic Motorsports offices are still without internet and phone services. The webpages and online stores are functioning properly, but the staff is working remotely. Most of us are just getting power back at our homes.

Thank you for understanding, and thank you for the many out-of-town crews who are currently here getting us back on our feet.

You're all still above water, and breathing. We'll be here when you're back.

Thanks guys!

We're all fine, but the neighborhood behind the office was hit pretty hard. Downed trees everywhere, trees being held up only by electrical wires, debris everywhere.....its a mess. The workers are doing an incredible job of clearing things, but it may take a bit, as the aftermath is pretty impressive.

Thanks for the concern. We'll be back to normal in no time!

Glad to hear everyone in the GRM family is OK. Going without power for a few days really sucks and is a miserable inconvenience, but the important thing is you made it through.

Luckily the magazines, events, memories, and of course this community are here because of people instead of buildings. I know it's got to be disheartening to see so much destruction around you, but the only thing that matters is that your ok. Damn glad to hear it.
