On the weekend of August 4th the IMSA teams came to Road America for some great racing.

The race had the Felipe Albuquerqe and Ricky Taylor WTR Acura on pole position and the Team Penske Porsches were close by. Friend Pipo Derani and his Action Express Cadillac with Jack Aitken were right up there as always during the race. Notice the back of Pipo Derani's helmet with the new addition to the family footprints!

The Covettes had a tough race with one of them getting punted off in turn five by the new Mustang GT3 at the second start.

In the end the Team Penske Porches finished first with Nick Tandy and Mathieu Jaminet and second with Filipe Nasr and Dane Cameron.

Beautiful race day with beautiful race cars.

Enjoy and I'll let the photos do the talking!

This is Part 2 of my Indy Cars at Road America blog. The race was June 9, 2024 and it's been a busy summer.

Part 1 was on the Indy Cars in the rain qualifying on Saturday June 8, 2024.  I went through 2 pairs of shoes and I was soaked!

So here we look at the race after Linus Lundqvist got the pole position with qualifying on that Saturday in a  great session. Linus finished the race 12th and Will Power finally won a race again and congratulations to him. It's been a while for Will to get a win on a road course.

The race was a tight battle with Josef Newgarden and Scott McLaughlin coming in second and third. Team Penske had the top 3 positions so Captain Roger Penske had to be happy.

A bright spot in the weekend was Indy NXT driver Jamie Chadwick taking pole position and dominating their race for the win. Remember that name because she has a great future and is a really nice person. She is car #28 here in a few photos and Louis Foster in the #26 finished second.

Enjoy a look at a fun and exciting weekend.

On a personal note I have mentioned before that I have stage 2 bladder cancer and today is another big day with another blue light cystoscopy procedure to try to figure out where the cancer cells are coming from. Keep me in your thoughts today.

Thanks,
