    FAST FACT During the tire building process, heat and pressure are applied to form the tire in a process known as vulcanizing. This transformation process is named after Vulcan, the Roman god of fire. Here in Birmingham, there is a 56-foot statue of Vulcan that overlooks downtown from Red Mountain. Confetti flies in Victory Lane following the Toyota Grand Prix of Long Beach as podium finishers (and Penske teammates) Juan Pablo Montoya and Helio Castroneves celebrate with winner Scott Dixon. Chris Owens/IMS Photo WHAT TO WATCH FOR THIS WEEKEND: DIXIE DOES IT: Scott Dixon (right) had just one top- five finish in eight starts at Long Beach entering last weekend’s race, but when the checkered flag flew on Sunday he came away a victor, earning his 36th overall race win and breaking a tie for fifth with Bobby Unser on the all-time Indy car wins list. Can Dixon carry the winning momentum from the West Coast to Barber Motorsports Park? PENSKE LOOKS TO CONTINUE BARBER DOMINATION: Team Penske has won three of the previous five Verizon IndyCar Series races at Barber Motorsports Park and team owner Roger Penske will look to add another trophy to his team’s collection during the Honda Indy Grand Prix of Alabama with a strong four- car stable that has been dominant through the first three races of the season. HUNTER-REAY GOES FOR ALABAMA HAT TRICK: Andretti Autosport’s Ryan Hunter-Reay is the only driver to keep Team Penske out of victory lane at Barber Motorsports Park with his back-to-back wins at the track in 2013 and 2014.

    Corvette Courier Newsletter

    The World’s First Corvette Club The President’s Corner - Jim Parisi August 2014 I would like to keep in our prayers all the members who have had surgery and health care issues. Jim Wade, we all hope for your quick and healthy recovery . I would also like to convey our sympathy to Pat Roney and family for the loss of his brother. Jon Thorn is continuing putting the information together about the history of the club. He has put together the first five years and continues his research and enthusiasm to make the club known to all as a club with the first roots. Paul from radial tire gave an excellent lesson on tire care, the differences and types, and why it is so impor- tant to use the correct one. He also donated a certificate of five hundred dollars to the lucky person with the right numbers. The club is coming even closer to the 2014 NCM Caravan leaving on the 23 of August. We will be starting off at Sport Chevrolet for the send off breakfast before taking to the road. I am looking forward to the event. Sport Chevrolet made a very generous donation to the cause. Jon Thorn and Ron Hamrah will be heading this event. Any questions or information should be directed to them. Corvettes at Carlisle is running right at the same time as the start of the caravan to the NCM. I need to know how many members will be attending so I can give the number to JoAnne at Carlisle. I will be there The Corvette Courier August 2014 Page 2 Friday, but will leave Saturday on the caravan.

    The Indy Racing League and the Indianapolis 500: Increasing Competition in Open-Wheeled Automobile Racing in the United States Robert W. White Department of Sociology and Andrew J. Baker Department of Geography School of Liberal Arts IUPUI We thank Terri Talbert-Hatch and Pete Hylton for their comments and support of Motorsports Studies. Please direct correspondence to Robert White ([email protected]), Professor of Sociology and Director of Motorsports Studies, or Andrew Baker ([email protected]), Lecturer, Department of Geography, School of Liberal Arts, Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis (IUPUI), 425 University Boulevard, Indianapolis, Indiana, 46202. 1 The Indy Racing League and the Indianapolis 500: Increasing Competition in Open-Wheeled Automobile Racing in the United States Abstract Over the course of its lengthy history, the popularity of open-wheeled automobile racing in the United States has waxed and waned. This is especially evident in recent years. The 1996 “split” between the Indy Racing League (IRL; later, the IndyCar Series) and Championship Auto Racing Teams (CART; later the Champ Car World Series) severely hurt the sport. Following the split there was a well-documented decline in fan interest from which the sport has not recovered. Less understood, however, is that under the Indy Racing League the Indianapolis 500, the premier event in open-wheeled racing in the United States, became more competitive. Ironically, while fan interest decreased in the Indy Racing League era, the quality of racing increased. The increased competition associated with the Indy Racing League is a historically significant development that bodes well for the future of the sport.

    IMS Museum Honoring Andretti's Legendary Career with Exhibit

    IMS Museum honoring Andretti's legendary career with exhibit March 6, 2019 – The Indianapolis Motor Speedway Museum will honor 1969 Indianapolis 500 winner Mario Andretti and his illustrious racing career with the exhibit, “Mario Andretti: ICON,” presented by Shell V-Power NiTRO+, opening to the public Wednesday, May 1. The exhibit is part of a comprehensive 50th anniversary celebration of Andretti’s victory at the Indianapolis 500. Andretti led 116 laps and delivered a popular, long-awaited victory for colorful car owner Andy Andretti with 1969 Indy 500 Granatelli, despite having to race in a backup car, battling race-long winning Brawner Hawk engine overheating issues and being forced to run all 500 miles on the same right-rear Firestone tire. “Mario Andretti: ICON,” presented by Shell V-Power NiTRO+, will bring together many of the most significant cars in Andretti’s career at the IMS Museum – cars which also represent significant milestones in motorsports history given Andretti’s accomplishments. The featured exhibits of “Mario Andretti: ICON,” are a full representation of the Nazareth, Pennsylvania, resident’s diverse career. A sampling of this can’t-miss exhibit includes: • The John Player Special Lotus Type 79-4, from the 1978 Formula One World Championship run • The 1974 Vel’s Parnelli Jones team Formula One car • 1967 Dean Van Lines Brawner Hawk II Indy 500 pole-winner • 1967 Watson Leader Card Sprint car • The 1967 Daytona 500-winning car • A 1994 Lola T9400 from his “Arrivederci Mario” farewell season • The Horn Offenhauser Sprint car, named “Baby,” from Andretti’s first Sprint car race.

I believe it is the most comprehensive and accurate you will find anywhere.

Research is continuously progressing and may lead to new findings.

Vitesse! pdf details over 700 racing circuits in the Netherlands, Belgium, Germany and Austria, and also contains notes on Luxembourg and Switzerland. The American Road Courses pdf-documents lists nearly 160 road courses of past and present in the United States and Canada. These files are the most comprehensive and accurate sources for racing circuits in said countries. My website also lists nearly 5000 dates of motorcycle road races in the Netherlands, Belgium, Germany, Austria, Luxembourg and Switzerland, allowing you to see exactly when many of the motorcycle circuits listed in the Rennen!
