It was fun this past weekend with Indy cars back at Road America in Elkhart Lake, Wisconsin.
Not enough time to go into everything and edit a million photos today though.
So here are a few photos from Sunday, with our race winner Will Power and my new friend, Indy Lights driver, James French.
Enjoy, and more coming soon.

2001 with the CART Indy cars at the best track in the world, Road America!
June 13, 2016
It is Sunday June 12 as I write this and the tragedy in Orlando is all over the news. Terrible, sad, and what a crazy world we live in these days...
So, let's look at some good days in 2001 at Road America again. I have so many images from that weekend and I am sharing today some of my favorite photos of a young Helio Castoneves and more, of course.
Bryan Herta, Max Papis and Alex Zanardi were racing with Helio and a lot of other good racers!
Looking at the high technology steering wheel with the map of the track on it is interesting.
Enjoy a look back and next week I will share some more pictures from that weekend as we get ready for the Indy cars coming soon to Road America.
Thanks,

The CART Indy cars at Elkhart Lakes, Road America in 2001.
May 23, 2016
This week's blog takes us back to CART racing in 1990 at Elkhart Lake's Road America.
These were the days when Porsche was into Indy cars, and had Teo Fabi as it's driver.
Alfa Romeo was also on the grid along with Cosworth and Chevy and more.
Competition was good with the different engine manufacturers.
Roger Penske had Danny Sullivan, Rick Mears and Emerson Fittipaldi who had won the championship in 1989. A three car team was not normal in 1990 like it is today.
So, take a look at Eddie Cheever, Didie Theys and Al Unser Jr. in the good old days. A.J. Foyt was still racing then too.
After taking a second look, a few of these photos are from 1989 at Road America! Still good old stuff to look at!
Get ready for the 100th running of the Indy 500!

Racing season has begun with practice laps being run at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway!
Nascar doesn't count with me, and yes, we have had a few Indy car races, but this year we have the 100th running of the Indy 500!
Here are some old photos from the late 1980's and 1990 with some different forms of real racing!
Check out Rick Mears, Emerson Fittipaldi, Geoff Brabham, Bill Seebold and a few other folks way back when and get ready for the 100th Indy 500. All of these guys were the best in their race craft.
Who are you picking for the winner if the Indy 500? It's early yet but I'm going with Scott Dixon.
Thanks,
