Dyson Racing and Grand Am
Announcements have been written but not released while the last details of an agreement are completed. However, Murphy is pretty sure Dyson Racing (but not its current two drivers) to be on hand at Montreal, and yes, the Bear knows full well that’s on the same weekend as Mosport. Dyson Racing will wrap up the 2010 season involved in both ALMS and Grand Am, as they have before. (more…)

A car that won’t race is just part of Jaguar’s problems. When your best finish (by far) in an ALMS race is last place, 36 laps behind the Porsche class winner, it can’t get much worse, can it? Sure it can. It did at Le Mans. (more…)

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…)

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…)

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…)
