Long ago, it was well-established how much I dislike change. It’s a fact, I really do. Windows 7 was a perfectly good product. Why did they have to screw it up by replacing it with Windows 8 and then 10? I like traditional football uniforms like the Packers and Bears. I also like for the traditions of the Indianapolis 500 to remain unchanged.

Most fans probably enjoy a peek behind the curtain to see what it takes to stage a race. I know I do. Whether it’s to be a fly on the wall in Race Control or to sit and watch what the IMS grounds crew will endure next weekend to convert the track from the road course configuration back to the more familiar oval immediately following the Angie’s List Grand Prix of Indianapolis; we all like to get a better idea of what really goes on behind the scenes.
The Fans Lose Again

Usually, there are two sides to every story. I’m sure this same principle applies to the cancellation of the Boston Grand Prix that was supposed to take place in about four months over Labor Day weekend.
It’s The Month Of May!

Welcome to the official beginning of the Month of May. OK, it actually started yesterday – but today is the first weekday. As of today, I will try to post every weekday in May through the race. Sometimes life or the day job may prevent that from happening, but that’s the plan. Not only do we kick off most everyone’s favorite month of the year, but Trackside goes to their nightly format starting tonight. Most importantly, tonight also marks the beginning of nightly episodes of The Talk of Gasoline with Donald Davidson. If you like the history of the Indianapolis 500, do yourself a favor and download the “1070 The Fan” app, so that you won’t miss a single episode.
