Been a crazy few weeks around here with chemotherapy, another urinary tract infection and then I got COVID at Road America photographing what you see here of IMSA.
Finally feel normal again and ready to do this blog on IMSA at Road America where it didn't rain or wasn't super hot. Usually, it rains for IMSA weekend at some point but not this time.
I wanted my Team Penske and fishing friend Philipe Nasr to get the win but the BMW's of Bobby Rahal's team came away with Dries Vanthoor and Phillipp Eng getting the win. The second BMW came in second with Marco Whittman and Sheldon Van Der Linde.
The Aston Martin Valkyrie with Ross Gunn and Roman De Angelis is an amazing car to hear and see. It sits so low which of course is less drag and makes it so smooth as you watch it go but it didn't win.
Enjoy a look at all the classes running and some beautiful cars.
Thanks,

On September 4, 1972 a few bands played outside in Oshkosh, Wisconsin. They were REO Speedwagon, Brian Lee Band and the English band Flash.
It was a beautiful day for an outdoor concert. Have a look at REO Speedwagon here with the other bands coming up soon.
Everyone played on a flatbed semi trailer for the stage!
Those were big hair days in 1972.
Also if you haven't noticed, someone that doesn't exist (michaeljohnsonxui52304) apparently deleted my Rich Zimmermann and Rich Zimmermann Photography Facebook accounts. After 5 hours of trying to figure it out, I gave up and restored an old Rich Zimmermann Facebook page from years ago. So, friend me again please if I haven't friended you.
Thanks,

My last blog was on the Indy Cars at Road America for the XPL Grand Prix.
To get into one of those Indy Cars you have to move up the Indy Car ladder and it's feeder series. That would be the Indy NXT, USF Pro 2000 and of course starting out in go karts that all Indy Car drivers still train in.
The June 22nd weekend I spent only a few hours at the track thanks to the heat and chemotherapy fun. Hopefully I'm done with chemotheraphy for a while and more tests to come to figure out where I stand.
Proof that the ladder series works is Myles Rowe who won Saturday in Indy NXT at Iowa Speedway! First win for him and we will see him in an Indy Car soon I believe. Couple photos here from 2021 at Road America when Myles was talking with my Vintage Indy Registry folks.
Enjoy a look at the USF Pro 2000 cars having a go at the track at Road America.
Thanks,
Rich Zimmermann
