So I DID go to Thompson Speedway last weekend to see the vintage racecars on the road course there. Turns out, though, that wasn’t even the highlight of the day. There was a car show there, a wicked big car…

So I made it to Thompson on June 1 for the vintage motorcycle racing, although the event didn't
exactly bring a ton of significant vintage road-race bikes out of the garages, as I was hoping. Yes,

I just checked out this year's road-course schedule at Thompson Motorsports Park. I always like to get over to Thompson a few times each year. It's only miles away, and wandering around the pits and race course is always fun…

    In that “rink” in Massachusetts where I raced, they just ran on the concrete floor, as I recall. At Madison Square Garden, I remember…

I heard the forecaster on TV say that we’re halfway through winter. We certainly seem to be in the “depths” of it here in the Northeast. I talked about ice racing recently? I’d swear it’s TOO COLD for it, although…
