Wow. I almost forgot I had this blog. Not really. It's been about... Oh... 10 months since my last post. Sorry about that. As some readers may know, I am in school and my last post was just before the fall semester of junior started. Needless to say, the last two have kicked my butt and were quite an experience where I've learned a bit about myself and found out some issues that have hindered my abilities as a future motorsports journalist.
Also, personal life has gotten in the way as well with a little "family drama" that I'm not going to discuss here. Right now, almost everything's going fine.
For the record, I have watched all but one race this INDYCAR season (I was out during the first Detroit race and my DVR didn't record and it was ABC so, obviously, no replay) and I've been loving it. It's been quite a season of twists and turns with several winners, a new face (and nose) on the Borg-Warner, a tough season for Ganassi and Will Power, Andretti Autosport back as one of the series' top teams, A.J. Allmendinger (whom I decided to give a chance this year and am starting to like a bit), and a points leader who's been Mr. Consistency all year.
Am I going to start blogging frequently again? We'll see. I am over a month and a half into my (well-deserved) summer break and still have a little less than two months left. I have a lot of time on my hands.
Once the school year starts, I won't be blogging as much but I'll try especially as we getting into what I think will be a pretty cool battle for the title. My picks for the drivers involved? I think it's going to be "Helio Castroneves v. Andretti Autosport" (Hunter-Reay and possibly Hinch and/or Marco).
I'll also be attending the races at Houston in October. I can't wait. Will be there part of Friday and all of Saturday and Sunday with my family and some close friends who are like family.
Houston will be my second and third races of the year. I didn't get to attend the race at TMS for the second year in a row (hoping to finally make a return next year) but I attended the Grand-Am race at COTA in March. That was quite a racetrack experience that I promise I'll share.
While I don't have anything right now written about this INDYCAR season (I'm going to try and give out some mid-season awards sometime this week I hope), I have three blog posts waiting to be posted soon. I actually wrote them for classes but two were lost following my online class (one I plan to retake again in the future because I liked it so much) and one was never used for anything.
I've decided to change up my blog a little because I've really been into Grand-Am this season. One of my upcoming posts is about my experience at COTA (where I got my third-ever hug from a driver along with my first team owner hug) and the other is a repost of something I wrote after this year's Rolex 24.
The other post is a mix of racing series (well three - INDYCAR, Grand-Am, and NASCAR) where I'm going to share my stories and pictures from my racer encounters over the years.
I really hope I can start blogging more frequently soon. I promise I won't be gone this long again.
