Time to get back to a music blog since the last three have been about Indy Cars.

Enjoy some pictures Edgar Winter and his band at Summerfest on July 1, 2018.

Edgar still can rock it and had an awesome band.

Check out Doug Rappaport, Koko Powell, Jason Carpenter and of course Edgar.

Thanks,

This is part three of my blogs on the Indy Car weekend at Road America. We look at images from Sunday here and mostly of the race.

It's amazing how hard these guys drive and how beautiful cars are. They have got to be true athletes to drive these cars the way that they do.

I also have a few images of the victory celebration from the Sunday morning Indy Lights race.

Enjoy some photos of a fun weekend.

Thanks,

Here is a look at the Indy Cars at Road America on Saturday, June 23 a few weeks back.

Bryan Herta had a great weekend winning one of the Indy Lights races on Saturday. A few photos here show him making donuts while celebrating in turn five!

Will Power is shown really pushing it during qualifying and going off track. He qualified P1 though.

Enjoy a look at some beautiful cars. Love the new body/aero kit on the Indy Cars.

Thanks,

Wow!!! Blog #300! I guess I've been doing this for a while!

I really enjoy sharing my work with everyone. It is a passion.  I love to photograph racing and music. I have been doing it since 1971.

Indy Car weekend at Road America was 3 full days of fun, sun and photos.

This blog is about Friday 6-22-2018 and I will do blogs coming up of Saturday and Sunday.

The Final Inspection Show 105.7FM that I work with, taped the radio show on Friday.

We interviewed Mario Andretti, Matt Villander, fresh from his LeMans win, Graham Rahal and the top engineer of Bridgestone Racing Tires.

My heart goes out to Mario Andretti who lost his wife, Dee Ann, a week later.  They were married for 57 years!

Enjoy a look at some legends and some great cars on a cool, cloudy Friday at Road America.

Thanks,

I'm getting ready for Indy Cars at Road America on June 22, 23 and 24. So I'm writing this blog a little early because I'll be busy!! It's actually Tuesday June 19th as I do this.

I found some photos of my old friend, Uncle Vinty.

He was like no other musician as you will see. He was unique and loved by everyone because of his costumes and great show. I actually think those are my snow ski goggles he has on! No wonder I don't have them anymore!

Not sure, but I think this is from 1979 at the Blue River Cafe.

Enjoy some photos of my buddy.

Thanks,

In 1987, I photographed Bon Jovi at Alpine Valley Music Theater for the first time. Hopefully, you saw my blog a few weeks ago of their show at the Bradley Center. It was the last rock show ever at the Bradley Center here in Milwaukee.

In 1987, hair was big and stadiums rocked. Maybe leather pants were in style too!  I remember I had a gray pair about that time!

The guys were so very nice that day in 1987 with some Make a Wish Foundation kids before the show.  It was so cool to see Jon and Tico being soooo nice them.

Enjoy a look back at 1987 when you were how old?!

Thanks,

It's Memorial Day as I write this blog and we should remember all of our fallen soldiers today and thank all the veterans for their service. Thank you Dad, Captain Zimmermann!

Yesterday, I sat in our nice air conditioned home and watched the Indy 500 and the F1 Grand Prix in Monaco. Tradition here is to take a break from chores and enjoy the races!

Well, Helio and a few other of my picks didn't win. Will Power won the race and congratulations to him.

The photos of Will Power included here start in 2007.

Next blog is Bon Jovi in 1987!

Thanks,

Rich Zimmermann
