The way I remember the first ESPN go around: they got F1, people who didn't have ESPN begged their cable companies to carry ESPN, when those...
Ferrari Challenge: the only series where we're told some cars may have passengers. Handy to know when we're responding to an incident.
Considering incident response: gravel sucks. I dreaded the acres of it around Indy, and if a car did stop in it we'd have to cross much more of...
This was my 20th Canadian GP, and I didn't mind the sound. At least not as bad as tv audio makes it out to be. As a pitlane commentator stated...
Blue, debris, single yellow (be it waving or standing), white, green (following a station w an incident) are all our own call. Race Control tells...
As far as I know, no, we were all SCCA with a few visitors from Canada and parts unknown thrown in, all organized and under direction of the SCCA...
I didn't hear about that! The usual command was to wait for permission to respond, usually meant not until the FCY was out and an IMSA truck on...
Didn't Grand Prix use some "replica" cars, F2's with added exhausts?

Being prior to 7B I was well hidden from spectators, just above the car in this photo. 7B is driver's left just before the bridge to the casino,...
Huh? I was at the light just prior to 7B and was getting rained on with rubber bits after only 10 laps. I've been hit with balled up chunks of...
Especially Friday afternoon!
Is this the last grandstand on driver's right entering turn 1? I was at turn 1 in '07 and remember seeing Kubica's crash on the monitors.
Yes, unpaid, but then we don't have to buy a ticket. We're affiliated with clubs, not employed by them. Usually get a free lunch, usually get a...
If only! I've not been to a GP in North America where's there's been enough of us to allow for off sessions and taking pictures even from a...
For every year? That's a tall order, besides, if you don't know what I look like I could show you any flagger and say it's me! I know which two...
