You did a great job. Hope you enjoyed doing it as much as I did listening to it.

(I know that is off topic but important right now.)

It’s a little strange to finally hear the voices of people that you have been reading for a while, but it adds to the picture as well.
George, I though you came across very good, but I must admit your voice is actually deeper than I initially thought, while Kohl had a higher pitch than I thought. Pressdog sounded exactly like I thought he was going to sound…

It is clear that the Cavin-Lee connection, via WFAN is not only also interested in the same outcome, but are willing to listen to and spread the word of all reasonable comers. In a near country wide, (dare I say) brainstorming session. It is time to break out of the paradigm that has been the IRL (since the split) and it is time to start thinking outside of the one chassis, single rev-limited engine, spec-series corner that the league has painted itself into… Thank you George and thanks to all of the other dedicated bloggers out there in the ether….

Just listened to the Trackside podcast. You were great! I totally agree with your thoughts. The one thing I like about F1 is that they are the only series left with any diversity.

Cool that you were on representing OILPRESSURE :!:

The only thing I will slightly disagree with you on is the CART GoodYear / Firestone “tire war” had SOME effects on the racing. Remember all the marbles from the ULTRA SOFT race tires effecting races on ALL of the tracks :?: One groove ovals & hard to make passes late in the road & street course races. :idea: It didn’t kill anyone… but it was one reason why we agree tire wars are a bad deal :)

I figured I’d take the year off from blogger night, having gotten in on last year’s show and having basically said my piece on their write-in show a couple of weeks ago.

That’s a fine, fine job by you on last night’s show. I know whereof you speak when you mention the cotton mouth and verbal shakiness. Personally, I responded to my 4 minutes of fame last year with a barrage of “uh”s delivered in my signature Kimi Raikkonen-esque monotone. I assure you, you did far better than I did, and made your points well and concisely. Nice work.

Whether driving on four wheels or two, Ed Carpenter advocates a safety-first approach. So the Vision Racing driver was a natural to be the host.
The recently-launched program is designed to help prevent and reduce injuries and deaths associated with riding on various wheels and promoting safety courses for communities.

About time Indy!
