The extraordinary experiences of two ordinary IndyCar fans
Maybe it’s your first time to Mid-Ohio or maybe it’s just been awhile since you’ve been there. Either way, I’ve got you covered with all you need to know about this great Ohio road course! Food - Let’s get right to the important things! Sadly, the food is not as good as Road America…nowhere is. … Continue reading Do Mid-Ohio Like A Pro
In preparing for the trip up with Wisconsin, Abby and I realized this will be exactly one-year since our last INDYCAR camping weekend. It was also the first (and only) camping weekend of the 2020 INDYCAR season. Since we don’t camp at IMS, there’s no better place than Road America to memorialize things. When they … Continue reading It’s Cheese Time (Road America 2021 Preview)
I have a love/hate relationship with the Chevrolet Grand Prixes of Detroit. Plainly speaking, I think the surface at Belle Isle needs some advanced resurfacing. When the commentators are talking about steering wheels trying to “kick out of” a driver’s hands, or the red tires are turning useless at such a rapid pace: you must … Continue reading Tires Man (Detroit 2021 Review)
The Indianapolis 500 is always hard to recap, outside of the winner: there’s way too much going on to attempt to summarize. This year is no different! Do I spend the time talking about Helio Castroneves and his fourth win? What about the hard charging from Conor Daly and how all Ed Carpenter Racing drivers … Continue reading We Deserve This (2021 Indy 500 Review)
Jason Rittenberry is the COO of the Music City Grand Prix, the newest street race happening in Nashville August 8th. The race is all ready hyping us up, the track uses the Korean War Veterans Memorial Bridge and they are anticipating high speeds in 200 mph. The race was officially announced in September of 2020 … Continue reading S4E47 – A Chat with Jason Rittenberry (Music City Grand Prix)
We as fans received the opportunity to watch INDYCAR in person. We got a weekend with two completely different races at the same racetrack. Worldwide Technology Raceway Park asked us to socially distance and to wear masks. I’ll say that as far as compliance goes, it was great. I’d put it at only 5% of … Continue reading A Tale of Two Races (Bommarito 500 Review)
It’s a completely different race weekend at World Wide Technology Raceway at Gateway. Okay first we have to talk about the name…too long. Given the schedule mishaps of the 2020 season this was quickly turned into a double-header. Then after being a night race for the past three years, both races are in the middle … Continue reading We’re Seeing Cars (Bommarito 500 Preview)
Despite none of us being there, this year’s Indianapolis 500 did not disappoint. It was, to borrow a phrase, a spectacle of racing. Multiple cars caught on fire, we had all sorts of lead changes, and questionable calls. While we couldn’t sit in our normal seats, it appeared as a lot of people made this … Continue reading Tires and Fires (2020 Indy 500)
Has there been anything more representative of the roller coaster of 202 than this weekend’s qualifications? No fans. Day one ended with two rookies in the Fast 9 and only one Chevy. Oh there were also no Penske drivers at all. Most surprising, a pole was snatched from Scott Dixon: and not by Will Power. … Continue reading Where Have all the Chevys Gone (2020 Qualification Review)
Masks are the new livery. As we work through the novel-corona-virus public health emergency we all have to wear masks. Sure you can go straight plain medical looking route, or you can get creative. After five straight races of interviews behind masks, I decided to rank some masks. Legit me taking photos from the NBC … Continue reading Ranking Face Masks (2020)
