People need an escape. We all need to get away, if only for a short while. Home, work, family, money, and health issues can drag one down from time to time. So we need to take a break, put the issues aside for a few hours or days even. And for race fans, the method of escape is a no-brainer. Whether it’s for a weekend or for several days, the race fan needing a respite from everything from clueless bosses, ex-spouses, or the day to day trials, heads for a favorite race track, rather than watch a race on TV. So my solution to this problem of getting away was to… get away. First to Bloomington on Friday and then over to Lawrenceburg on Saturday night. read more »

With apologies to Sly and the Family Stone, that title works really well this week. For the first time in his young life, my grandson accompanied me to both races that I attended this weekend.

Another race weekend, Indiana’s biggest, is complete as this is written. Rain was the winner at some tracks and it also was a huge factor in our biggest race. But the rain stayed away from both Bloomington and Lawrenceburg as many of us had a glimpse of the future, Jeff Bland Jr. and the present, Jon Stanbrough. Young Bland won the Friday night feature at Bloomington while Stanbrough ran away with the 30 lap feature at the ‘burg as part of the King of Indiana Sprint Series. read more »

When someone takes the road not traveled by others, the risks can be greater, but so can the rewards. When taking the less popular path, one assumes the attitude that they will either reach that desired destination, or at least will have done their best. And when that someone is a young man perhaps the reward is even more so. Friday, May 5th, at the Lawrenceburg Speedway, that young man was Chris Windom and his road less traveled was the low groove on what most thought was a one groove track. He showed more patience than many trained professional drivers and stuck to his guns in winning the 25 lap sprint feature at the ‘burg. read more »
