Start up your engines
I am awaiting though to see the new style of car as they will be unveiled very soon with the season getting properly on the way on March 25th.
Regulations aim to make the sport a level playing field however this year they are racing into the unknown with the introduction of quite drastic visual elements designed to protect the drivers head.
Will they work? How will it affect racing? One thing is for sure we are witnessing the slow death of open top racing and for that I am sad. I have followed this sport since being a little boy and whilst no one wishes to see anyone get hurt, danger has always been an integral part of these major events. Here were a bunch of men prepared to risk it all, battle wheel to wheel for glory. I only need to refer to the movies ‘Rush’ and ‘Senna’ and you will know the excitement of watching such battles on track. (and sometimes off track too)
So are the cars too safe today? Is the sport too sane with too many crazy rules?
We don't have long to find out now
Green lights to go
Hope you all enjoy this season.

An unusual Notice!
I have been working in the metals industry for most of my life and I have seen a lot of notices (mostly safety notices of one sort or another) but I recently saw one that I did not understand.

AFS TEXAS BOARD OF DIRECTORS PLANNING MEETING
Howdy from sweltering Texas, I was honored to represent Team SYNCHRO ERP at the AFS Texas Board of Directors planning meeting in the former oil capitol of Texas, Kilgore. The surrounding area still has many oil derricks as displays of the heritage and even the road side park uses mini oil derricks for picnic table shelters.
