SPEEDWAY, IN: It isn’t just the lack of crummy weather at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway that’s giving the week of practice leading up to Time Trials a different feel this year.

Only once in the past 25 years has there been a full week of practice that has gone uninterrupted by the Spring Weather Gods of Central Indiana (i.e.: RAIN). And, without the threat of downtime due to track drying, etc., a more casual attitude has prevailed among the teams. But, there are other factors that have contributed to this almost relaxed approach to Pole Weekend.

Factor #1: Beginning Fast Friday through Bump Day Sunday, the teams will be allowed 10 extra inches of turbocharger boost, which should pump up the lap speeds to nearly the pole time from last year. Therefore, the teams have been concentrating strictly on raceday setups and running in groups all week, rather than working on qualifying trim. As a result, the first six days of running have been rather laid back. Ultimate speed has not been the goal, unlike past years.

Factor #2: With Dragon Racing finally getting on track Thursday with their new Chevy engines, the 32nd and 33rd car/driver combinations have become a reality. Therefore, the only possibility of any actual bumping on Bump Day would have to come from a last minute deal and, with the limited engine leases available, plus the lack of spare parts for the all-new Dallaras, it’s difficult to see how that might happen. The best possibility appears to be the #21 car from Ed Carpenter Racing, especially considering the fact that Ed is Tony George’s stepson. Therefore, with only 33 confirmed car/driver combo’s in Gasoline Alley, the pressure to “fight for a spot in the field” in virtually gone.

So, it appears that any real drama will have to wait until Fast Friday, when forecast of warmer temperatures, which should result in less grip, combined with the extra 50 horsepower gained from the additional 10 inches of boost, should help to get the juices flowing.

Excitement is the name of the game at Indy in May. Let’s hope it begins in earnest Friday.

BARBADOS – (May 19, 2014) Scott Speed overcame a mechanical failure to win this weekend’s Red Bull Global Rallycross event at Top Gear Festival Barbados, the first event of the 2014 Red Bull Global Rallycross season. It was the third career victory in the series for Speed, who transferred to the final via heat victory in the debut of the Volkswagen Andretti Rallycross program.

“It was an awesome weekend,” said Speed. “We had the speed right away, but with a big mechanical in the heat race, we had to come from behind from that point on. The guys did a great job twice, getting the car ready to make qualifying and to make the last heat.

“We were hoping that we were going to win our first time out, but it’s really special for everyone at Andretti and Volkswagen. We’re all going to celebrate really good tonight!”

Steve Arpin and Brian Deegan, two drivers to advance to the final via the last chance qualifier, rounded out the podium in second and third place, respectively. The event marked Arpin’s first career podium finish, while Deegan scored his fourth podium finish in the past seven Red Bull GRC events, dating back to last July. Formula 1 veteran Nelson Piquet Jr. and defending GRC Lites champion rounded out the top five.

“What a spectacular event,” said Arpin. “A podium at Red Bull GRC Top Gear Festival Barbados, this couldn’t be any better. The fans here are incredible. I don’t know what to say right now. It’s just spectacular.”

The final was briefly red-flagged after an incident between Ken Block and Joni Wiman. After Wiman passed Block in the second-to-last corner, Block hit a curb, sending his car upside down and sliding into the concrete barrier on the frontstretch. Block walked out of the car under his own power, while his representatives confirmed that he was not injured.

The event was held at Barbados’ Bushy Park Circuit, the country’s premier motorsports facility, which received an extensive reworking in preparation for the weekend-long event. Other activities with ties to Red Bull GRC included a race between Block, in his rallycross-spec Ford Fiesta ST, and Formula 1 world champion Lewis Hamilton, as well as two-time series champion Tanner Foust drag racing Top Gear host James May in a tractor.

Full results of Red Bull Global Rallycross at Top Gear Festival Barbados are as follows: 1. Scott Speed, #77 Volkswagen Andretti Rallycross Volkswagen Polo 2. Steve Arpin, #00 Royal Purple Racing/OMSE2 Ford Fiesta ST 3. Brian Deegan, #38 Rockstar Energy Drink Ford Fiesta ST 4. Nelson Piquet Jr., #07 SH Racing Rallycross Ford Fiesta ST 5.

ELKHART LAKE, Wis., May 26, 2017 – MotoAmerica will invade “The Badger State” June 2-4 for three action-packed days of excitement at legendary Road America. The Dunlop Championship at Road America will serve as the fourth stop of the 2017 season, set to challenge riders on one of the country’s toughest tracks. Road America has been challenging competitors on both two and four wheels dating back to 1955, and the famed facility serves as the longest track on the MotoAmerica calendar at 4.048 miles.

The sport of road racing has been a mainstay spectacle in the world of motorsports for decades. Affectionately known throughout the world as superbike racing, spectators are captivated by the exceptionally high speeds reached aboard these high-performance motorcycles (upwards of 180mph at times) and the physics-defying phenomenon of “knee dragging,” where riders lean so far into corners their knees scrape the pavement. This unique combination of speed and technical prowess, which toes the fine line of control and chaos, is a testament to unparalleled ability of the competitors, and it’s why MotoAmerica is single-handedly bringing the sport back to prominence on U.S. soil.

A total of five classes of competition comprise MotoAmerica, each featuring some of the fastest and most promising riders in the world:

Motul Superbike Class
The showcase division featuring highly tuned, production-based 1000cc motorcycles. They feature various colored numbers on the nose of the motorcycle.

Bazzaz Superstock 1000
Compete alongside Superbike, but feature mostly stock, production-based 1000cc motorcycles. They feature white numbers on a red background.

Supersport
The proving ground division for young talent featuring highly tuned, production-based 600cc motorcycles. They feature blue numbers on a white background.

Superstock 600
Compete alongside Supersport, but feature mostly stock, production-based 600cc motorcycles. They feature yellow numbers on a red background.

KTM RC Cup
A dedicated youth-development championship aboard identical KTM RC 390 motorcycles. This is where the sport’s next star will be discovered.

Festivities for the Dunlop Championship at Road America get underway on Friday, June 2, with practice and first qualifying sessions throughout the day. Two full days of racing across all classes will take place on both Saturday, June 3, and Sunday, June 4. The race weekend will also feature an array of fan activities to complement the racing. For detailed race times and a full event schedule fans are encouraged to check out www.roadamerica.com

Off the track, the CTECH Manufacturing Motorplex will be open for public karting. Zip Lining is also available at $20 for the first ride and $10 for the second consecutive ride. Anyone interested in encouraged to sign up at the landing tower near Turn 14. The Twin Stunts Stunt Show also will be performing in the North paddock

In addition to the racing action, fans with motorcycles are encouraged to pre-register for a unique ‘Salute to Cycles’ on-track riding experience. The Salute to Cycles provides participants with the rare chance to ride the Road America circuit and develop a true appreciation for the undulating road course where pro racers battle it out for glory and fame.

Gates will open to the public each day at 7 a.m., and admission is $90 for the 3-day weekend, $30 Friday, $45 Saturday and $45 Sunday. Anyone 16 years old and under are free with a paying adult at the gate. All races will run rain or shine. A tentative event schedule is available online at www.roadamerica.com. Campers are allowed to stay until Noon on Monday.

Ken Block won the battle, but Joni Wiman won the war in Red Bull Global Rallycross Las Vegas at The Linq, the 2014 Red Bull GRC season finale. Block took the overall victory, but Wiman finished second to wrap up the series’ Supercar title in his rookie season—just one year after being crowned GRC Lites champion.

“I don’t believe it,” Wiman said. “It’s just amazing. I haven’t realized it yet. It’s like a dream come true.”

Block, who qualified second, did all he could to take the championship home for himself. He won both of his heat races, gaining two points on Wiman in the process, and beat the Finn head to head in their semifinal. But after Bucky Lasek and Scott Speed battled intensely in the final, Wiman took the joker from fourth to climb to second and clinch the title by five points, or the equivalent of one finishing position over the entire 10-race schedule.

“Every time, coming here and needing a good finish to have a good overall season result has just put the pressure on me,” Block, now a two-time Las Vegas finale winner, said. “The thing was, there was no other result for me here—I had to win everything I could. The team and I worked hard to make that happen, but unfortunately I won the battle and lost the war by one position.

“It is what it is, but it really disappointed me because it goes back to Seattle. I should have won that event, and I threw that away with a tiny mistake. I’m happy to have won, but disappointed at the same time—but that’s racing.”

“After 10 exciting races this season, the championship came down to the wire here in Las Vegas,” said Red Bull GRC CEO Colin Dyne. “It was a great way to wrap up the season. We are incredibly proud of the teams, drivers, sponsors and everyone else involved in the series, and are already gearing up for an incredible 2015.”

In GRC Lites, Mitchell DeJong capped off a dominant 2014 season with his seventh win of the year—a record for either class of Red Bull GRC competition, both in a season and all-time. DeJong, who fell to fourth with a bad start, worked his way past Tyler Benson, Austin Cindric, and international Supercar driver Andreas Bakkerud in succession to take the victory.

“This has been an amazing year,” DeJong said. “Coming out from the first race of the year at X Games and all the way to this one has been so much fun. The cars have always been so great, and I’ve always enjoyed the track. To finish the year with all these wins and the championship is a great feeling.”

Announcements about the 2015 Red Bull Global Rallycross season will be put forth in the coming weeks and months.​

INDIANAPOLIS (Friday, May 14, 2021) – Due to ongoing restrictions in Ontario focusing on COVID-19 health-and-safety measures, organizers for the Honda Indy Toronto and the NTT INDYCAR SERIES jointly announce that this year’s event, July 9-11, will no longer be a part of the 2021 schedule.

“The NTT INDYCAR SERIES race around Exhibition Place and Princes’ Gates is a hallmark of our summer schedule,” Penske Entertainment Corp. President and CEO Mark Miles said. “To have that void for a second straight year is heartbreaking. We deeply miss our fans there and urge them to remain safe during these unprecedented times. INDYCAR looks forward to a high-powered return in 2022 and for years to come.”

The festival atmosphere on the Streets of Toronto has been a staple of the INDYCAR SERIES since 1986. The list of champions includes legendary names such as Bobby Rahal, Emerson Fittipaldi, Al Unser Jr., Michael Andretti, Alex Zanardi, Dario Franchitti and Scott Dixon.

INDYCAR is considering various scenarios for the remainder of the 2021 NTT INDYCAR SERIES calendar as it relates to the cancellation of the event on the Streets of Toronto.

The current mid-summer portion of the schedule will resume Sunday, Aug. 8 for the inaugural Big Machine Music City Grand Prix on the streets of Nashville, with live coverage on NBCSN. That event is the first of three races on consecutive weekends for the NTT INDYCAR SERIES, with the Nashville race followed by another historic NASCAR-INDYCAR weekend Saturday, Aug. 14 on the Indianapolis Motor Speedway road course and then the exciting oval at World Wide Technology Raceway on Saturday, Aug. 21.

Orlando, FL (March 13, 2012) – Had the opportunity to attend the 17th Annual Amelia Island Concours d’ Elegance to benefit Community Hospice of Northeast Florida, Inc. as well as several other deserving charities. Now in its second decade, The Amelia Island Concours d’Elegance is among the top automotive events in the world. Of course, anytime you can go to The Golf Club of Amelia Island at Summer Beach and The Ritz-Carlton, its good thing. Since 1996, the show’s Foundation has donated nearly $1.8 million to Community Hospice, Bill Warner, take a bow. Each year, Mr. Warner seems to take it to a new level, ever year it gets better and better.

This year the Honored guest was the one and only Vic Elford. One of the greatest sports car drivers of all time, and has to be considered one of the nicest fellas in motorsports. Know as ‘Quick Vic’ I have done many book and art signings with Vic and he has story’s you could listen to for hours. He is the only driver to drive every version of the great Porsche 917. One story that stands out is him going 240-mph plus on the Mulsanne straight at LeMans and holding on for dear life every lap and worrying that you would lose some teeth because the car was shaking so much at those speeds. One gift he has is a photographic memory. That’s one reason why he was so good at rallies such as the Targa Florio. He could remember all of the twists and turns, hard to fathom since the track is 45 miles long.

They also had the Great Endurance Drivers Seminar which was sold out. This year included, Hurley Haywood, Sam Posey, David Hobbs, Brian Redman, Joe Buzzetta, Jim Hall and Elford. The drivers chatted about the old days, reminiscing which could have gone on all day. There is usually a video offered of the symposium, I would look into availability and purchase it. Current IZOD IndyCar Champion, Dario Franchitti was even in there taking it all in, smiling from ear to ear.

They also another seminar, Ferrari vs. Cobra with Mauro Forghieri and Carroll Shelby. However, Carroll took ill and could not make it. We wish him a healthy recovery.

The other big talk around the event was the Gooding Auction which offered the Porsche Collection of the late Matt Drendel. The big talk was the Sunoco-Penske Porsche 917/30 that went for $4.4-million on Friday. Purchased by well-known entertainer, Jerry Seinfeld the 917-30 will be added to his extensive Porsche collection. Seinfeld also purchased the iconic ex-Vasek Polak Martini Racing Porsche 935/76 for $2,530,000. I spoke to several vintage Porsche race car owners who were excited by the news, since they feel perhaps their cars have increased in value. Interesting history on the 917-30, one of six built, however has no racing history, as it was built for Australian Porsche importer, Alan Hamilton. For more on the auction, visit http://dedeporsche.wordpress.com/ (second story)

Apparently, Bill Warner pays extra for nice weather and Sunday he got it, although a bit cool in the morning, I’m not complaining. In my ten years of attending this event this is a must see event from the car auctions to all the classic Duesenberg’s to hot new Bugatti Veyron. There is something for everyone at the car show on Sunday on the 18th hole of the Ritz Carlton.
