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.
Thanks,

Today I thought we would explore my huge interest in race cars. I really like Indy cars in case you haven't noticed.
These photos today begin in 1971 when I photographed Indy Cars on my television! Cars from CART, Champ Car, IRL and even Mika Hakkinens F1 car that was at Elkhart Lake's Road America as a show car are shown here this week.
My favorite is from 1971 before the cars got their wings! After that, I like the CART era cars, when we had big horsepower, with multiple engine suppliers that gave us great sounding engines! Plus, each car looked different, whereas today, the IRL cars look very similar if not the same other than sponsors.
Take a look at a few of them and tell me what your favorite race car was through the years.
Enjoy, and say hi to me at Road America this coming weekend where the Indy cars are finally coming back!!! It's going to be great!
Thanks,

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,
