“No Americans have licenses to race in Formula One at the moment, sadly, because all the money in America the last 10 years has been in NASCAR.” – Peter Windsor, USF1 principal
Really? All the money in America has been in NASCAR? Or just all the money spent on racing in America has been in NASCAR? So Tony George did not spend 600 million dollars on Indy Racing League and its teams’ subsidies? C.A.R.T. and O.W.R.S. did not spend 300 million dollars to compete?
No money was spent on Skip Barber’s racing series, Bridgestone’s racing series, Formula BMW USA, Star Mazda series, Toyota Formula Atlantic, Indy Lights, American Le Mans Series, Grand Am, SCCA Trans Am, SCCA World Challenge…?
.“Until the invention of the cell phone, I never witnessed a presumably sober driver with so little situational awareness — or sense of self-preservation — that he or she would blow a stop sign on a relatively busy country road without even casually looking both ways.

We do not pray to get results. The truth is, most of the time we will not see any results of our prayer — but that’s perfectly okay. For we do not pray to get results. We do not pray to get anything. We pray to love Someone. We also pray to become someone: the person God is calling us to be. Ordinarily we become that person not by dramatic leaps and bounds, but by barely noticeable baby steps. – Sister Melannie Svoboda, S.N.D.
God walks amid the pots and pans. – Saint Teresa of Avila
I’ve prayed that when Americans, in a hedonistic, self-indulgent country, go nuts buying candy for Saint Valentine’s Day that they remember that 25,000 persons starve to death each day and consider aiding our poor brethren. I prayed that we are inspired to donate to meals on wheels and to local food pantries, operated by churches and Feeding America. For information about easily aiding our poor brethren here and overseas, see the “aid the poor” page in the list on the right. You could consider donating to the Red Cross, Oxfam, Save the Children or Food for the Poor who are serving Haitians in dire need. I have.
.Of all the things we do, prayer is the least practical. – Abraham Heschel
Ever-jovial Formula 3000 champion, F1, CART and IndyCar racer Roberto Moreno celebrates his birthday today!
‘Super Sub’ was born in Rio de Janeiro, and now resides in Weston, Florida.
.I am so glad to be in Florida, not one of the states that are beset with snow and sleet. I abhor cold weather, and I disliked dealing with snow when I resided briefly in Pennsylvania. In Korea we had light snowfalls which weren’t bothersome, but the air was so bitterly cold in winters. The tops of my ears were frostbit one year.
.The only way you can fail at prayer is to not show up. – Thomas Keating
