Rick Mears acts as a regular guy doing his work. I am here to tell you that Rick Mears is NOT a regular guy. He is a 4-time Indianapolis 500 Winner.

Really, it does seem like Mears should have an escort and trumpets sounding when he is riding his cycle through the Paddock. After all, that pass on Michael Andretti was not your ordinary race move that wins The 500.

I agree, the wisdom of selecting a dark color, never mind black for a sport which takes place out of doors, primarily in summer months is beyond ridiculous. I mean I get that they appear to remain clean longer, but as if it were not hot enough already for the crew and drivers, black fire suits, a black umbrella to keep the driver “cool” and black pit box stand covers????? Maybe they can pas out comforters and start serving pre-race buffalo wings and hot cocoa too….
Great shots George, am looking forward to the RB interview as well…

A pleasure to meet you, also – a year after failing to meet at BMP. Hard to believe a whole year elapsed. Glad that you and your crew arrived alive and early on Sunday and enjoyed your time.

Black umbrella. That strikes me as being exactly the wrong color.

Dry rub… hit him with some spicy mop sauce for the last 20 min… et voila, Long Pork. Yummy!

Thanks for the photos, including one of one my heroes: Rick Mears. I really enjoyed your posts from Barber over the weekend and I can’t wait to see your Randy Bernard interview posts. Well Done!
