Welcome back!
I’m looking forward to reading about Ray Harroun’s fraudulent ‘win’ of the first Indy 500, Cristiano daMatta’s snapped halfshaft in Vancouver 2002, what makes Scott Goodyear and Bob Jenkins so hyperactive, the difference in the coefficients of grip in the pavements at Road America & Mid-Ohio, why E.J. Viso doesn’t wear his corrective lenses when racing, and which size Gurney Flap was more effective and why on big speedways in 1995.

Hey Bill,
Have you been watching a real life version of “28 Days Later” too?

I see George walking through the wreckage, pausing to pick up a charred old photo. Shaking his head, he drops the photo and moves on, aimlessly wandering around.

It was fun. I’d still like to see what you’d do with Silent Pagoda though.

Well let’s see…I didn’t want the Titans to lose, but I got the day off and my site got a ton of more hits than it already does. Plus, I got to sit back and watch Hobbson work his tail off. You’ll notice that no one has heard a peep out of him all day. I think he’s exhausted.

All in all…it was a fun way to “lose” a bet.

I psychologist would tell you that betting on the Titans means that you Wanted to lose the bet. I think you just wanted a day off.

Next time, how about betting with Lindy T? Especially if you can get her to talk about stuff that doesn’t make it on the VS telecast.

Welcome back, George. Here’s hoping you can still get a regular post or two in this week, what with having to restock your Windex and Drano supplies. Hobbson can really go through that stuff…

That was fun and Interesting. Maybe you bloggers could cross publish more often. Mix it up in the off season and bring new “talent” to our attention. I see no “down-side” (for us). Gives us a different perspective on the blogger we follow and some new “writters”. I found it so entertaining that I would be shocked if other bloggers did not try out the word butcher swap. Good work to both of you. I’m going to email Bob Jenkens and Wolf Blitzer to see if they will switch.

George,

Just a quick note to let you know that I realized how nice it is having several funny blogs with which to laugh about IndyCar (and let’s face it… too often humor is all we have) but also having a blog from which to get solid historical information and with which to engage in civil, yet bluntly honest, discourse regarding the happenings of the day. Keep up the good work.

PS: I am giving a persuasive speech in five hours about how IndyCar can be used as a vehicle for positive technological change in the automotive industry. On the one hand, I realized how sad it is that I actually have to persuade people of this but, on the other hand, it means the sport has a clean slate to build upon. No where to go but up!

Sorry for the long post and best regards,

Justin
