I missed the Mid-Ohio race, but I am primed and ready for my favorite series to return home to the World Center of Racing. It is going to be awesome, with Grand-Am and the Cup cars running on the same day!
Mid-Ohio was another fantastically officiated race. All the team owners I talked with last week were absolutely thrilled with the event, and hopefully next year spectators will be allowed. Although the entry list has been steadily shrinking to ALMS levels, the close competition gave me goose bumps! I don’t know about you, but that race made me want to go out and buy a Rolex and get a car loan at Sun Trust! Not so sure about Kevin’s wine, however. (more…)

Murphy had almost forgotten the IRL scribe’s penchant for tossing out ”the big one” – almost. So it really wasn’t a big surprise when he floated a rumor that Grand Am would purchase/had purchased the ALMS. The Bear had to scramble to find the “team principal” from whom the scribe had heard the story, in the end without success. If there was such a statement, no one was owning up to it (and that’s no surprise, either). (more…)

F1 Follies
Alfie, the Alpine Field Mouse, resides in Switzerland. Murphy hadn’t thought much about his old friend in a long time, when along came a note. It seems ol’ Alfie’s right in the middle of the F1 tif. Actually, it was quite a bit more than just a note. (more…)

Geez, will ya give it a rest?
Will Aston Martin ever make a statement or D.R. give an interview that doesn’t include a snide remark about “the diesel advantage,” or the “Michelin advantage,” or “Corvette’s rule breaking” or some other kind of excuse? We know, you don’t have to tell us again and again, and again. It’s getting really boring. And it seems to be a communicable disease – Peugeot’s come down with it now.
While we’re on the topic, maybe Lou and Dave should get together. (more…)

Murphy’s Le Mans Punter’s Guide is again a “simulpub” with Last Turn Clubhouse, here. Honestly, that site’s software handles tables much better than the Bear’s little blog.
