Into The Crystal Ball… Two Left, Make ’em Count Edition
The resurrected and rebuilt Streets of Baltimore play host to the penultimate round of the 2012 championship. Amid financial uncertainty, the seemingly well attended event lives another year, once again, thanks to Andretti Sports Marketing. The battlegrounds for this weekend … Continue reading
How I saw It… That First Caution is a Doozy Edition
That really wasn’t that bad, and we have undoubtedly seen worse at Sonoma Raceway. Who had Sebastien Bourdais in the who-will-bring-the-first-yellow pool at work? I sure didn’t and I am shocked his unforced error was as dramatic as it was. … Continue reading
Into The Crystal Ball… Welcome to Wine Country Edition
Sonoma raceway is the third leg of the “trinity of boredom” and location of the final run to the championship. Barber Motorsports Park and Mid-Ohio Sports Car complete said trinity, but if those two races were any indication of what … Continue reading

On The Ground… IndyCar at Mid-Ohio
The Alarm was supposed to wake up at 5:45 race morning so I could get a good start on the nearly four hour drive out to the Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course for the Honda Indy 200. Instead, the most intense lightning … Continue reading

How I Saw it… The Yellow Free Doube-Shot Edition
Another one in the books at Mid-Ohio, and still not a single yellow to be seen in two races. I’m really liking this kinder and gentler, but way more hardcore style of racing we have seen the last few weeks. … Continue reading

Into the Crystal Ball… Its a REAL Twistie Edition
For the 28th year not in a row, open wheel descends upon the tight and twistie Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course. Lexington, Ohio will play host to the 12th round of the 2012 season and mark only the second of three … Continue reading
