Roger Warrick has carved a veritable gold mine niche in motorsports art with his series of “what if” gatherings of drivers spanning several eras. His latest appears to be an illustration for an AutoWeek story on their All Time Indy 500 Grid.

I had heard that there would be IRL testing at Kentucky Speedway last night. Steve, whom I’ve been working with the last few months, emailed the track to confirm that Ryan Briscoe would be shaking down Penske’s third entry for Indy from 5-10 as a side gig from his Penske ALMS duties.

Spent the weekend at Mid-Ohio for a NASA weekend. Was pressed into duty on Friday to help instruct the Competition Licensing course for The Mid-Ohio School. The rest of the weekend was lots of car hopping to instruct and otherwise offering help drivers.
Dad’s student was the owner of Buschur Racing, a prominent Mitusbishi [...]

My friend Charlie shared this gem with me:

Only a couple months tardy, but pics from August’s SVRA weekend at Mid-Ohio are uploaded.

Pics have been uploaded for a while, but for those that haven’t visited my smugmug site lately:

Fellow sim-racer Dave Thibodeau is running the One Lap of America in his Cooper S.  Another MINI in the field is being driven by one of the HPDE3 guys I led at Mid-Ohio a couple weeks ago.
Good luck guys!

Tiff Takes On PS2 Champ, from The Sunday Times
Very interesting article pitting Tiff Needell against the reigning UK Gran Turismo 4 champ.  The results are surprising, although Tiff dropped a couple seconds handily with the TC turned off.
I’m curious what a similar comparison using a modern PC sim (i.e. rFactor, GT Legends, Live For Speed) [...]

Cincinnati Business Courier Article
Saw some discussion on this a couple weeks ago over at GARRA-Fans. Looks like it will be about 20 minutes away.
I got a copy of the linked article today at work. Lo and behold, the impetus behind it is the brother-in-law and nephew of my former boss.
Sounds like an interesting [...]
