A Quick Word on Randy Bernard

Posted by Roy Hobbson on February 2nd, 2010 under Links  •  12 Comments

Randy Bernard is IndyCar’s new CEO. Others have weighed in on the hire far more eloquently than I could, and I tend to defer to their learned opinions on such things. So should you. So should that cowboy pictured to the left, who looks so sad. But back to Bernard. All I know is that at [...]

Vision Racing Will Not Go Gentle Into That Good Night

Posted by Roy Hobbson on February 1st, 2010 under Links  •  19 Comments

Regarding the Vision Racing situation, Tony Johns sums up the course of events here, and he does so brilliantly. Of note is the fact that there’s a movement now afoot. SAVE VISION RACING! is the new battle cry, replacing … well, whatever the old battle cry was. (RIP OUT THE FUEL KNOB!, perhaps?) I don’t know. Whatever it was, it [...]

When a Car Is More Than a Car

That’s a tasty little number right there. It’s Ryan Hunter-Reay’s new ride, obviously. And you don’t have to look closely to see that it’s nothing more than a 700-horsepower IZOD IndyCar logo with wheels. And that’s not by happenstance. Nor accident. Nor random luck of some kind. That’s by design, and the League has certainly hitched its [...]

Tuesday Morning Colts Update

Dallas Clark just **YAAAAAAAAAAAAAWN** caught another seam-route pass. This time for 48 yards. Silly Dolphins. (I’m sorry, what’s that you say? This is unrelated to IndyCar and nobody is interested in it?  Hmmmm. Maybe you’re right, my good man. Maybe … you … are … right. Curt Cavin certainly thinks so.)

The Motegi Race Just Got 5,300% More Predatory

Posted by Roy Hobbson on September 18th, 2009 under Links  •  7 Comments

In the wisest move of 2009, someone fancied the notion of starting TK & Helio in the rear of the grid. Translation: we get to be dazzled by two crazed Brazilians hunting down entire packs of unfortunate prey. With the aged & feeble falling first, of course, in graphic — potentially uncomfortable – displays of raw carnage & [...]

Sold Out

Sorry, folks. We sold our last box of Sage Advice for IndyCar some time ago. What you’re going to want to do is, head over to the Indy Star and look for Bob Kravitz’s article. He’s got almost the exact same make & model that we’re sold out of (except his is the more Danica-centric version):

Pete Pistone is the Modern Day Terence Mann

Posted by Roy Hobbson on September 3rd, 2009 under Links  •  14 Comments

In this sordid CBS Sports article, Pete Pistone kindly advises IndyCar as follows: More ovals, less road & street courses “Embrace NASCAR” “Embrace sorcery, as well as the dulcet tones of the fiddle” Start the Indy 500 earlier Of course, it’s possible that I made one of those up. But which one?  Well you’ll just have to read the [...]
