Bobby Rahal made a good point at the last American Le Mans Series Stakeholders Meeting. Bobby made the point that for those who do not go to Le Mans in June, that entire month is wasted not racing and we, as participants of the series, lose mindshare of race fans during the hiatus. Makes perfect sense. I read into Bobby’s statement that perhaps we don’t need to have such a hectic August if we utilized the month of June for racing (or even July)!
As Helmut mentioned below, the month of August is nuts. We’ve got three race weekends in the month (Mid Ohio, Road America, Mosport). That is truly nuts. What’s really crazy is that I booked a business trip during one of the free weekends in August (Aug 22 & 23) thus I’ve got no time to spend at home which puts me in a dangerous negative wife-equity position. Suggestions welcomed in increasing my husband value, but please refrain from any PG-13/R-rated comments…
As for the next race, at Mosport, I will be accompanied by the famous and talented Sam Mitani of Road and Track. There are those who say they cannot tell us apart, based on our imposing physique. Sam will be doing a very interesting article that you’ll see in his Countersteer column in R&T. Stay tuned.
