Once again, there is a delay in testing of the new IndyCar hybrid system that is scheduled to debut at the season-opener at the Firestone Grand Prix of St. Petersburg in three months. There had been a test scheduled for later this week, on the road course at Homestead involving ten teams from the NTT IndyCar Series; but that test has been pushed into January.

It’s tough to come up with IndyCar-related content during the offseason. Believe me, I know that more than anyone. I just had a post a couple of days ago about cord-cutting from cable, so I appreciate any efforts to stay on topic during the offseason.
Cutting the Cord

In keeping with the television theme from Friday, when I discussed the upcoming TV rights negotiations for the NTT IndyCar Series; I have an important announcement to make – I am finally cutting the cord.
Fickle Fans Need to be Realistic

One thing that has sort of gone under the radar this IndyCar offseason is the TV contract that expires at the end of next season. To be honest, I had forgotten about it until Marshall Pruett of Racer.com posted an article about it this past Tuesday.
I Dreamed a Dream

I trust everyone had a good Thanksgiving. It was good to push away from the daily grind. That’s not to say we did nothing. I got a lot done around the house and Susan put on one heck of a spread for our Thanksgiving dinner, which also included her two sons and my daughter.
Happy Thanksgiving!

Once again, we have reached the time of year to reflect on what we are most thankful for. First of all, I am thankful that I have been able to maintain this site over the past fourteen and a half years. It is still something I enjoy, mostly from the comments, e-mails and texts I receive from everyone that comes here three times a week. I’ve always said that this site may not have the most readers; but those that come here are among the most knowledgeable, most civilized and most loyal IndyCar fans out there. It’s rare that readers argue, get unruly or troll this site. I am very grateful for that.
Barely Avoiding a Black Eye

In motorsports, they say first-time events always have a few kinks to work out. We’ve certainly seen that regarding the NTT IndyCar Series. The Music City Grand Prix comes to mind. The first two years of the event saw weather combined with a way-too-tight circuit, play havoc with the event. The race itself produced multiple cautions in the first two years, forcing Marshall Pruett of Racer.com to call the first-year event a sh**show.
