Busy Racing Weekend!

Memorial Day is the day to honor and remember those service men and women who died for this country. The Memorial Day Sunday, is also the day the world’s most prestigious automobile races will burn some rubbers. (thanks MikeP...Need to make sure the correct "rubber" is being burned here...)

Formula one will be broadcast live at 7:30AM EST, Sunday morning on Speed Channel, my favorite F1 pilot, the hard charging Fernando Alonso sits on the pole position. The circuit of Monaco Grand Prix is tremendously hard to overtake the car in front. It is not impossible, but it is very difficult. The only place to improve the position is done in the pit. The sooner the pit crew can get the car out to the track, the better chance for that driver to move up on the grid.

Not to forget about the exciting finish of last year’s Indy 500. It was the 2nd closest finish in history with the margin of victory in 0.0635 of a second! The race will be live on ABC TV station, with pre-race at 12:00 AM EST. Let’s hope Michael Andretti can finally win the elusive BorgWarner Indianapolis 500 Trophy.
