I’m writing this in the Homestead media center as I occasionally glance at the monitor to see yet another caution period in front of 80,000 empty grandstand seats. Caution is the operative word in Grandamland this weekend. The shock has yet to wear off over the arrest of one of our legendary drivers. Indeed, when I left the World Center of Racing yesterday morning, things at International Speedway Boulevard were in full damage control mode. No Lamborghini in the parking lot. (more…)

I missed Montreal in favor of a trip to Vegas, where I spent a good part of my three-day junket at the craps table. I’m still trying to recoup from the Zogaib debacle, and I thought Vegas could provide some financial relief. Well, it didn’t.
And this whole racing thing has become a crap shoot. Six months ago I thought the Grand-Am Rolex Series was on the verge of dominating the road racing world … I could envision spec DPs racing at Sebring and Le Mans … and now I wonder if the series will even be around in 2011? (more…)

Ever since I stepped in that Clydesdale poop on the Sebring grid, things have not been going my way. My daughter was planning on attending Duke, but it looks like it will be Daytona Community College instead, thanks to Henri Zogaib. Unless she gets a golf scholarship, or Henri finds that sack full of money I gave him to invest, it is not looking good. Even my part-time job polishing motorcycles for a friend of mine has fallen through. (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…)
