Are you a fan of Formula E Bradley? It’s been improving it’s product every year, but there’s still a bit of a novelty vibe to it. I watch all the races, but it’s more catching replays when I’m bored than eagerly awaiting them like I do F1/IMSA/Indycar.

I’m not a fan either, but it’s a way to fill the calendar for a series that’s still trying to grow. Plus it cuts down on travel which helps team budgets and their green agenda.

This was just featured in my newest R&T magazine too!

Easy, a base 10yr old Toyota Corolla and a Nissan Versa. Oh, and both were bought used and slightly smoky from a rental car company.

Without researching anything the one that comes to mind is Volvo. Cars, semis, construction equipment, boat engines. I feel like every year I see a Volvo badge in or on something I didn’t expect.

How very Jalop of you! Thank you for keeping wagons on the road. I get how bigger feels safer for some, to each their own, but with the jump in safety standards over the past few decades it seems less relevant. I’m of the mindset where awareness is safer than a little more ride height.

Yep, big Jalop/racing nerd here and that has easily bled over to racing games/sims. Iracing, Dirt4, Wreckfest, Trackmania, Mariokart. They all get too much playing time for a man my age.

C’mon Torch. I dedicate enough time trying to not by a 3D printer. This isn’t helping!

Funny this comes up because I was just at Road America yesterday for the Indycar race. At the end of the day, like most sports, the TV is the best way to see all the action. HD close ups, replays, insight, pausing to use the bathroom, but you have to be there to really experience it. For Indycar or IMSA Road America…

1984 is a tough one. So much good stuff that’s unattainable.

Wow, that’s funny. An article about what to buy and I literally just bought the car in the photo. Well the N-Line version of it.

So does this mean it will be easier to to find a Rich Energy book than actual can of Rich Energy?

I wish their social media manager saw the silly outrage for this joke and doubled down.

It’s not a great system, but BOP for drivers would be much harder than the current BOP for cars (which already can become messy). Super GT in Japan does this and BOP’s each car individually. Win a race, get weight added next race. I don’t want to see good drivers being punished for their success regardless of their…

This begs for a slideshow. “What’s your dumbest wrenching mistakes?”

Vintage Indy was interesting last year. It’s fun to see the classics running there. I think they are supposed to be back again this year but I haven’t checked the schedule.

It’s tough to beat the competition in Indycar and it’s only gotten better since they’ve been back. The first few years I liked having PWC for support races to get a taste of both. IMSA is definitely a long day but they always find a way to heat things up in the final laps. 

There’s Chevy power, Honda power, and now Helio power! Oh, I guess there’s still Will Power too. 

Ya, any cars & coffee or parking lot car show is a bit too congested for my comfort. COVID aside, I’ve just really grown to enjoy not being in large groups. It’s Indycar and IMSA at Road America for me this year. No shortage of open space there, and it’s a great country drive my car enjoys. 

I’ll be doing the same. Looking back I can’t believe they let fans attend last years race, but if any track promotes social distancing it’s Road America. It was still a great time and cool to see a qualifying session on Sunday.  IMSA weekend is just as fun if you haven’t gone.
