Never a fun thing to do, but sometimes you know something is just wrong and could endanger lives. Was driving down an interstate one evening, and noticed a car with no license plates and no lights on. That’s not a deal-breaker for me; that’s someone just asking for trouble on their own. But this individual started to…

Not sure if this counts, but some of my favorite cars are the MKIV and MKV R32s. They’ve got that classic golf styling and DNA, with a perfect amount of sporty flare to make it stand out. I bought my first one two years ago (MKV, #4358) and it lived up to every expectation (recently traded it in for lower miles +…

Forcing teams to use a single chassis and providing a small selection of engines is not a knock on IndyCar whatsoever. It’s what makes it great and poised for success. It keeps costs way down (RIP LMP1) and lets the drivers’ and team’s talent shine. Why try to mimic F1? IndyCar is carving out it’s area of the racing…

1) Incredibly inspirational. The shear engineering marvels that automotive racing precipitates is awe-inspiring. You can literally learn some new, mind-blowing fact about a race car/racing every single day. As a guy that works in the engineering field, it puts a smile on my face everyday.

Are IMSA and Indycar racing the same circuit this weekend? Has this always been the case?

Sounds corny, but my biggest regret is not getting into cars earlier. I had always been somewhat interested in cars, but after visiting Road America for the first time at the age of 25 (I live 15 miles away. *kicks self), I have been absolutely hooked. Since then I have found this site/community, started following…

Can I buy you a beer at Siebkens when you stop at Road America?

I live a few miles from Road America, so I frequent the track quite a bit. My ultimate automotive fantasy would be showing up to the track ready for a great day of racing. I do my usual walk through the paddock, and discover one of the drivers has come down with an illness (probably from eating too many J-ville brats,…
