It’s been eerily quiet in the world of sports car racing lately. Poor Murphy really has to dig to find any poop at all. There’s always something, though. The Bear keeps hoping for rumors of new programs, new venues, new anything – but he’s had to settle for a silly looking kit car (see below). (more…)

Sunday, May 2nd, 2010Due to popular demand (OK, demanded by Marty and Murray the Putz, anyway), the Bear’s good friend inside the Evil Empire is back. – Murphy-

Meanwhile, Oklahoma City’s council has authorized “negotiations” to obtain a 2011 ALMS street race – following in the tradition, Murphy supposes, of Miami, Trois Rivieres, Houston, Detroit, and St. Pete. More about such things from the Bear’s friends here at The Last Turn Clubhouse. (more…)
