This Weekend Sucks


What a difference seven days can make. Just one week ago race fans around the globe were enjoying an amazing weekend of motorsport. There was ALMS and IndyCar in St. Petersburg; both exciting races all the way to the checkered flag. F1 and its ridiculous number of support series were in Bahrain for some great action. The European LeMans Series kicked off its season with a 1000km race in Catalunya, Spain. The World Touring Car Championship held two races in Mexico. In short, it was racing nirvana.

Okay, sure, this weekend we have A1GP and many regional series like the British Touring Car Championship but there is nothing that even comes close to the big events of last week. In fact, the only major races televised in the US (besides those taxi cabs driving around Phoenix) are the MotoGP races at Estoril. While I like two wheel action as much as the next guy, it just can't make up for the lackluster schedule we are stuck with. At least we can take solace in the fact that next weekend is chock full o' four wheel goodness. For now, I guess I'll go clean my gutters or something. Man, this sucks.

Well, what really matters is we did not give in and watch... you know what. Well... at least I didn't..

I cannot believe you guys are not talking up the great fuel milage strategery that Chad and I used at Phoenix for our first win of the season! That old man Mark Martin thought he had it in the bag but we showd'um. Any hoot, in two weeks it's Daga', time for some real racin'!
