Big exhale. 16 days into our hospital stay, I’m happy to report Shabral’s surgeon just called to say her second surgery was a success and, by Day 17/18, we are likely headed home where the next phase of the cancer fighting journey begins. Thank you for all your prayers and care.

14 years ago, I married the love of my life. In that time, she's shown me care, passion, concern, and unyielding support. For the last year, she's had to learn how to be cared for, which takes a toll on one's pride, erodes confidence. Still, she fights for her, and us. My queen.

This is really cool. Most racing series restrict access to its footage for broadcast, or media who pay mightily for the video. @IMSA just dropped 4.5gb of free aerial drone shots from the full-field shoot for fans+creators to use and post as desired.

I watched on Saturday as one slightly popular driver was being called by fans to come over and sign, but chose to ignore them and walk away. He got booed. And then I watched the series’ most popular driver stop and give freely of his time and energy to the same fans.

With no disrespect to the fine people born on August 24, I hate this day. I learned to hate it four years ago. My hatred for it has not diminished; if anything, it’s increased. The hatred will fade in time, and I welcome that stage. Our hearts belong to the Wilson family today.

Having worked for a lot of small teams, one of the things I once loved about F1 was the ability for the Colonis and Minardis and Larrousses and the Tolemans and an AGS or a RIAL to rock up and try to fight with the McLarens and Ferraris, even though they never stood a chance.
The answer to Andretti's F1 bid that should not come as a surprise, based on the series' attitude from Day 1.
