The Bear’s completed his world famous Le Mans Tip Sheet. Not one to follow the crowd, and a firm believer that the race doesn’t always go to the swift. Particularly in endurance sports car racing. Step up to the betting window.

For the second time, the Bear’s done a guest turn over at the Last Turn Clubhouse, with his punter’s guide. He’s gaining some renown in the paddock for his insightful guides, done for Sebring, Le Mans, and Indy. After careful study of the grid, the Bear’s provided some bonus observations.

LTC’s software does tables better than Murphy’s so he parked it there and provides a link here:

Murphy’s did a guest commentary on the Indy Racing League opener at Homestead for Last Turn Clubhouse. Call it a web simulcast. Here’s the Bear’s take on the first event of a new North American Open wheel era.

Murphy extends his wishes for a very happy Christmas.

God bless us, every one!

Murphy’s lost his adoptive mother and best friend Jean Marie, who died the evening of November 29, 2007. Murphy was on her bed.

She found Murphy, a small Gund bear, alone and naked, in a Sonoma bed and breakfast in 2004, and immediately adopted him. His first race was just a week later at Laguna Seca, though he didn’t write his first column until July 2005. (Jeannie’s contributions to race coverage over many years is described here, at Last Turn Clubhouse.)

Murphy’s not sure what will become of him now, but he’s certain nothing ever again will be quite the same.

Farewell, Jeannie.
