Yeah, I haven’t been doing a whole lot of blogging here lately but I’m still around and still Twitter when I can.
Additionally, you can check out my photographs from the Rolex Grand-Am at NJ Motorsports Park by visiting my Racing Historing site. Here is a direct link to the gallery.
Not a whole lot. We were on staycation this past week and did some miscellaneous work around the house and managed to spend 7 hrs washing / waxing / detailing both our vehicles. I also went to the SVRA historic races at the new NJ Motorsports Park last weekend. I only went down for one day but still had a good time walking the track and scouting out locations for the Grand-Am weekend coming up the weekend in August. Yep, I’ll be on staycation again the first week of September. 
Actually, we do plan to go down to the Jersey shore for a couple of days.
Other than that, I’ve just been doing a little iRacing (I need to find more practice time!), working on some images in Lightroom 2, getting ready for the class(s) I’m going to be teaching starting in September, and working on some miscellaneous projects I’ve been trying to get going. I just switched my Racing Historian site from being hosted on my own server over to SmugMug using a Pro Account. It’s still a work in progress but I think it’s coming along nicely – even though quite slowly!
Time to go get ready to jump back into the swing of things at work tomorrow. Later.
I can’t wait to attend the Grand-Am race at New Jersey Motorsports Park at the end of August.
Colin McRae, the legendary World Rally Champion, was tragically killed in a helicopter accident with his 5-year old son and another child and adult.
The WRC isn’t hugely popular in the United States, partly because there are no events here, but I became a huge fan when I started watching it on Speed TV. I would record all the events on the DVR and watch them. To me, rally racers are the premier racing drivers as they not only need extreme car control, you have to have a real set of balls when you have to race on all types of surfaces just inches from a drop off on a cliff hundreds of feet up.
Colin was the WRC’s first real superstar who eventually had a series of video games and racing simulators named after him. His father was also a 5 time rally champion.
