We have reached that time of year again, where it is time to push away from the keyboard and take a little time off. Not only do I feel like taking a break, but readership drops significantly in December – especially the last two weeks. Conversely traffic picks up here substantially in January, so it’s good to get my rest in now.

Here we are with a few days left in 2022, and almost all of the seats for the 2023 IndyCar season are already filled. The only remaining question marks that I can think of are at Dale Coyne Racing, Juncos Hollinger Racing and Chip Ganassi Racing; unless Ed Carpenter decides to run another driver in the car he will run in the Indianapolis 500 and perhaps the other ovals.
A Shot Across the Bow

Although some may vehemently disagree with me (including my wife), I really don’t like beating a dead horse to death. I like to think I have my say (or rant) on a topic and then move on. Every now and then I will re-visit a topic a time or two, but I think I tend to make my point about something and then drop it. Somewhere, some of my family members are spewing out their coffee about now.
Maybe Better Than We Think

First of all, I have a quick personal note before getting into today’s topic.
Another Black Eye for IndyCar?

In the past, I have been accused of being a shill for IndyCar. I certainly don’t feel that way, but when something good happens with the NTT IndyCar Series – I tend to celebrate it. Part of that is because the series takes a lot of knocks, so when I see something good to write about, I do it. That’s not always the case. Just go back to what I wrote about on Monday regarding the massive price increases at Iowa, if you don’t believe me. Unfortunately, today is not very rosy either.
The Wrong Side of the Line

Let’s get this out of the way on the front-end. I am probably not the best expert around to judge how someone in their early-thirties looks to spend their entertainment dollars. Being almost twice their age would normally disqualify me, but even when I was in that age group – I was not a good representation of that demographic. This will probably come off as an old man yelling at a cloud, but so be it.
A Curious Choice by Dreyer & Reinbold

The 107th Running of the Indianapolis 500 is still almost six months away, but the dominos continue to fall as available seats continue to fill up. One such seat was filled a couple of weeks ago, and I’ll admit it caught me by surprise.
