    Week 1 Virtual Blog of 2020 Mega Mom Tour

    Just to be clear .... from the Oxford dictionary Virtual “being actually such, in almost every respect” “existing in essence or effect, though not in actual fact” Or, if you like, “it simply ‘aint real folks”. By way of explanation …… The 2020 Mega Month of Money tour group was scheduled to leave June 11th. Racing is getting back into full swing in the USA, just when we would have arrived and you may be asking “why aren’t they going”? Well we can’t get there. Australians are not presently permitted to fly internationally, unless it’s for essential travel. Whilst we would regard the Month of Money tour as critical, regretfully the folks in charge in Canberra do not. We had to make the postponement call months ago. It hurt, but everybody’s well-being was paramount. So, the Blog is being written as though we are there on the original itinerary, as initially planned and established last November. No COVID-19 and a safe environment, as we have known across the last 10 years. Hopefully these stories, from the depths of my imagination, light up your life, as each day’s episode is released from the virtual Mega Month of Money tour for 2020. We are twenty-two Aussie race fans, travelling for 68 days and 49 race nights at 30 different tracks across the roads that built America. 22 people who must now wait until next season to fulfil their dreams in person. Week 1 – June 9th through to June 17th. Tuesday June 9th 2020 (two days before the group arrives) As I sit on the Delta jet in Sydney waiting for take-off, I steal a quick look around.

Donald Capps Connecting the Dots Or, Mammas, Don’t Let Your Babies Grow Up To Be Historians.... The Curious Case of the 1946 Season: An Inconvenient Championship It is practically impossible to kill a myth of this kind once it has become widespread and perhaps reprinted in other books all over the world. L.A. Jackets 1 Inspector Gregory: “Is there any point to which you wish to draw my attention?” Sherlock Holmes: “To the curious incident of the dog in the night-time.” Inspector Gregory: “The dog did nothing in the night-time.” Sherlock Holmes: “That was the curious incident.” 2 The 1946 season of the American Automobile Association’s National Championship is something of “a riddle, wrapped in a mystery, inside an enigma” as Winston Churchill remarked about Russia in 1939. What follows are some thoughts regarding that curious, inconvenient season and its fate in the hands of the revisionists. The curious incident regarding the 1946 season is that the national championship season as it was actually conducted that year seems to have vanished and has been replaced with something that is something of exercise in both semantics and rationalization. In 1946, the Contest Board of the American Automobile Association (AAA or Three-A) sanctioned six events which were run to the Contest Rules for national championship events: a minimum race distance of one hundred miles using a track at least one mile in length and for a specified minimum purse, a new requirement beginning with the 1946 season.

Donald Capps Volume 10 Number 1 / May 2012 Chasing Down the Dust Bunnies of Automobile Racing History ◊ non semper ea sunt quae videntur – Phaedrus Pity the poor Historian! – Denis Jenkinson // Research is endlessly seductive; writing is hard work. – Barbara Tuchman INDIANAPOLIS, WE HAVE A PROBLEM…. Izod IndyCar Series 2012 Historical Record Book, by Steve Shunck and Tim Sullivan, Indianapolis: INDYCAR, 2012. To begin with, the 2012 edition of the IICS Historical Record Book is pretty much the 2011 edition updated to include information from the 2011 season of the Izod IndyCar Series – or INDYCAR as it seems to be known as of the 2011 season. This means that the problems with the 2011 edition were simply rolled over the current edition. The book is once again the product of Steve Shunck of IndyCar – or rather, INDYCAR – and Tim Sullivan of the Indianapolis Motor Speedway. This, of course, is not all that an unexpected com- bination given the rather incestuous nature of the IndyCar Series – sorry, INDYCAR – and the Speedway over the decades. The book , it appears, was done as is at the behest of Randy Bernard, the Chief Executive Officer of the Izod IndyCar Series or INDYCAR, who provided this guidance in an interview in late 2010: The other one is what we’re doing with our history books. When you talk about all open-wheel drivers – legends and current – the fact that we are going to roll all the statistics up and combine them, so IndyCar statistics will go back for a hundred years, is something I know they appreciate.

INTRODUCTION Gentlemen, start your engines! These timeless words, recognized as "the most famous" in all of motor sports,1 unmistakably signify that a race is about to begin. Fans numbering in the millions, at race tracks and in living rooms across the land, rise excitedly to their feet in anticipation of the green flag. Race fans are passionate people.' At no time is this passion more apparent than during the issuance of the famous command to drivers, just moments before the sporting world's "rocket ship[s] on wheels"3 are unleashed.
