I’ll be there, camping outside Turn 1! I’m looking forward to seeing the Ganassi 01 car, with a combined 12 IndyCar championships among 3 of 4 drivers (Sorry Renger!) do well! My favorite is gonna be the SCR Ligier competing with all the Oreca’s, and see how well they do! The Ford vs. Chevy battle will be interesting…

The BMW M3 Touring. An M3 plus a station wagon! How can it lose! The closest thing to a practical sportscar that I have ever seen. It’s the next best thing to an ice cream sandwich that is actually good for you!

As a 30 year resident of the Volusia/Flagler County, Florida, area, I can tell you this: There are some serious whakadoo’s here, and its gonna get worse before it gets better. I just hope it’s not in the water.....

A child driving a 4 wheeled vehicle on public roads is NOT NORMAL!! Hell, a lot of country clubs don’t allow them to drive golf carts on the golf course. We have golf carts on our public roads here, where I live, and the kids driving them have no clue what they are doing and put me, themselves and others at risk. For…

My ‘86 Testarossa had roll tool kit with all the usual tools, and included a large socket for the single, center lock wheel nut. Using the tools provided, there was no way I was removing that wheel without the help of a pneumatic wheel gun! I tried using the dead-blow hammer and, well, that didn’t work. The fact the…

Without a doubt, the original Panamera. The 5-door, sport-hatch design gave it a wide body at the rear, and with the size of the car, gave it a fat (NOT PHAT) ass that looked, well, unharmonious (weird)! That said, the Sport Turismo version tied it all together beautifully and made it into a true wagon, which is one…

One question:  How long does it take to fully charge the truck with a charger designed for the truck?  1 hour? 2? I don’t even know how long a Tesla charges from dead to full.....

Pfaff Motorsports definitely has my eye. Who’da thunk they made sewing machines!

But Michael is right about making the whole pie bigger so every team makes more money, even if the revenue split gets smaller. After saying how important the American market is, all these multi-million dollar teams get so myopic, and don’t seem to care that the American market has an entirely different concept of…

I did my senior paper for my college degree in Economics on this subject in 1991. While I shouldn’t be surprised, but the conclusions here are the same as they were 30+ years ago. The grid now, as then, hasn’t been upgraded to handle the extra load, there wasn’t enough capacity then to generate the needed power and…

Valtteri had another race in America! He rode in the Belgian Waffle Ride in Lawrence, Kansas, and placed second for his age group! Seriously, a 136 mile gravel bicycle race!  Really cool!

This aluminum twin-cam, twin spark, tri-carb, 3.7 liter motor had 314hp and, in the lightweight DB4GT Zagato, went from 0-60 in 6.1 seconds. Oh, that was in 1959 with tires that were only 4" wide! And like the car it was in, it is so, so beautiful to look at!

Loved me some Lucky’s! Ours is now a Publix!!! NOT a Safeway!!  Go figure.  Oh, this Publix also has a wine, beer and coffee bar and the carts have drink holders, just like Lucky’s!

An IndyCar driver and an F2 driver walk into a bar. Who gets more respect? The IndyCar driver, because the races are longer, faster, more dangerous and closer in competition. Ask yourself, why do so many former F1 drivers refuse to drive ovals? Just saying...

Looks like t he motorhome for GhostBusters!

After reading this, along with your other recent pieces (including the one on the Miami GP), it seems to me that F1 could learn a thing or two from NASCAR, IndyCar, IMSA as well as ISC, SMI and other US based race promoters. I hope this is not a case of the licensing fees being so exorbitantly high that race promoters…

Seating for 2+? Check! 2 motors with jet drives? Check! Roof, Roll Bar, and wind sheild? Check! $160,000 left over for a Polaris RZR, tow vehicle and enough beer for a long weekend with all your friends? Check, Check and Check!  

This list is definitely missing the DB4GT Zagato and DB5 Drophead and Shooting Brake!  

Salary caps, especially in the US, have been an effective part of leveling the field across the leagues that use them.  That and “The Draft”.   Most players make a significant amount of their money through direct sponsorships and off the field/pitch/court activities.   I like the idea, as long as the salary cap is…

I’m just a little late to the show, BUT.... I am absolutely shocked nobody brought up Swamp Buggy Racing! I grew up watching this late at night on ESPN in upstate NY almost 45 years ago when ESPN was looking for content! Anybody remember?
