Here in Wisconsin, snow is on the ground and it's going to be 6F tomorrow with a crazy windchill!! We should be seeing daffodils and rabbits outside instead of snow, ice and cold.
On February 28th, two of my favorite race car drivers celebrated their birthdays. Mario Andretti turned 79 and still drives the two seat Indy Car. I still want a ride in that car Mario! Sebastien Bourdais turned 40 on the same day!
On March 10th, the Indy Cars have the first race of the season in St. Petersburg, Florida. Sebastien Bourdais has lived in St. Petersburg for a few years and won that race twice I believe.
To get ready for the season let's take a look back at the birthday boys and some of the Indy Cars.
Last year Scott Dixon won the championship and I think he could do it again! Good luck Scott!
Stay warm and get ready to hear the awesome sounds of Indy Car again!
See how many drivers you can recognize here.
Thanks,

Happy New Year everyone! Hope everyone had a very nice holiday season.
I had a pretty nice year of photographing Indy Cars and IMSA racing at Road America in Elkhart Lake.
Had an even better year with photographing some great musicians we haven't seen in a long time!! John McLaughin, Kenny Loggins and Steve Miller being the most notable. Jeff Beck or John is a hard choice as to which is the best guitar player!
Happy birthday to Kenny Loggins who turned 70 on January 7th! You would never know he is 70 the way he sounded this past summer.
Our Marty party last year with Marty Stuart and his Fabulous Superlatives was the first time we saw him do an acoustic show! Great seeing my friend Marty who is sounding better every time. His new album Way Out West is the best one yet.
So, here are a few favorite photos of the past year. See how many folks you can identify.
We have;
Steve Miller
Marty Stuart and His Fabulous Superlatives
John McLaughlin
Jimmy Herring
John Oates
Hall and Oates
Roger Waters
Roger McGuinn

Kenny Loggins
Daya
