I guess somebody has to pay for Bahrain's demise this year!

Long Beach 2011

Hi Guys - Getting ready to head to downtown LB for today's festivities. As usual we're in Grandstand 40, halfway between the pit exit and turn 1 - - - best seats in the house! Not many surprises in qualifying yesterday except for the mediocre performance of the Ganassi boys - and the utterly DISMAL performance of PT. Guess he really is over the hill. At the risk of making him sound like a stripper . . . Will Power continued his flawless string of pole performances. Good to see Oriole Servia and NHR in the top 6. The weather today is considerably cooler than yesterday - probably on the order of 10-15 degrees (F) cooler. Overcast at the moment but the cloud cover should burn off by green flag time. It'll be interesting to see how that effects things since it was pretty hot yesterday and the sun was blazing. Stay tuned boys & girls. LBF

CHINA F1 CERTAINLY NOT BORING!!!!!!

Maybe it was our nationalistic following DownHere of Mark Webber's progress from 18th to a magnificent podium 3rd that had us on the edge of our seats, but how in the f@&*# could anyone accuse the the China F1 Race as boring?????????????????????

Ho Hum

Vettel has pole.

Wins again.

BORING !!

C.O.T.A. - Austin Texas

I watched the streaming live video yesterday of the press conference about the new F1 track in Austin - going to be called "The Circuit of the Americas" (COTA). It was really a very impressive press conference and showed some very exciting renderings of the facility, along with some extremely impressive partnerships which certainly provides a high degree of confidence for the success of this project. I was quite impressed with the overall progress. And....adding a 10 year contract with MotoGP won't hurt either! Good one - this should make Tony George bang his head into more brick walls!

Well I think I just went off F1.

That was plain BORING !!

Compared to yesterdays Grand National there was NO comparison !!

Dah!

http://www.autosport.com/news/report.php/id/90537 Yeah Ross, I've been thinkin' ....that might not be such a bad idea! What a revelation!

I'm all a-Twitter

In case anyone wants to follow Danica's every thought.

I don't think you'd ever see AJ Foyt post something as honest and poignant as this...

So Webber is faster than Vettel in practice !! Good on ya, Mark

Some good news for Indycar

http://www.sportspromagazine.com/news/sprott_sponsorship_makes_hinchcliffes_dream_come_true/

James Hinchcliffe to race for Newman/Haas, bringing some $4m with him, quite a chunck of cash for Indycar...

Great for James, remember talking to him when he was commentating at the Gold Coast for a Champ Car race, so it has taken some time for him to get in but good to see that he finally has...

Is anyone else following Nascar

Is there anyone connected to this blog, following Nascar besides myself? I'm a huge Denny Hamlin fan. Bringing Raikkonen over to beef up the truck series seems a bit of a stretch to drum up interest though. I can think of a few more "personable" characters - but Kimi? Does seem a bit strange! Anyone care to lay any bets on how long before he's got a DUI under his belt in the good old U.S.of A.?

Guesstimates

OK Folks we're a week away from Sepang. What's the gambling on winners and placers ????

of The Audi R18 & Sebring Testing

Ooh she is mean looking. I have nothing more to say.
