weekend round up – 14th August 2011 – #NASCAR #IndyCar

Posted on August 15, 2011 by driverjohn

#IndyCar – a bit of a cock up with the green flag in New Hampshire was fortunately without injury and the right thing was done by calling the result on the previous lap’s running order. Sometimes what you think is the right thing goes belly up on you. Well done to RHR on his win, and the title race closes up again as Dario went out early and the Toowwomba Kid got 5th in the mellee.

#NASCAR – Rain mucked up Sunday’s action at The Glen completely, and more good news for the Aussie contingent as Marcus Ambrose wins one for The King. Great to see him get the win that he has deserved for a while, and good also to see both Petty cars in the top ten with the Dinger backing up the Digger.

A shame that one of the idiot Busch boys had to punt the Dinger off, especially as he was running a lap down at the time and should have kept out of the way. Maybe he mistook the #43 for the #48? And talking of idiots, the animal Said was in the  middle of the nasty shunt for Rooti.

We’ve just noticed that the round up for last week isn’t here. Trouble is we can’t find it! Between us we both worked on it, so it must be somewhere, but on which computer? Not this one certainly.

Assuming that we do find it it will get posted, and we’ve started mapping out this wekend’s one.

weekend round up – 24th July 2011 #F1 #NASCAR #IndyCar

Posted on July 25, 2011 by driverjohn

Having changed things around with our social media activity at the start of the month, and launching a Twitter account dedicated to this blog plus a link to a general motoring blog, we decided to stop the weekend round ups and just tweet pages from Autosport and other sources. However, several readers have asked where the roundups had gone and many thanks to those for their interest, especially the one who asked if Trucker Tog and I were still OK.

So we’re back, and here goes.

#F1. Well the Lewis of old is back and very welcome he is. A truly dominant win – the finish may have been close, but it was never really in doubt from the first corner. Lewis was on a mission and wasn’t going to let anyone by. Not sure who the Seb imposter was though.

#IndyCar. Over in Edmonton there was another return to form as the Toowoomba Kid was back in town after a couple of dnfs. We are rooting for him to take the title this year. He really should have nailed it in 2010, but maybe coming from behind will be the spur this time round.

#NASCAR – the big boys had a weekend off, so no Sprint Cup action, but we will be back on the trail next week at Indy no less for the Brickyard 400.

TT or I will be back next week, and we are also trying to catch up on some of the promised Setting the Record Straighrt posts – not enough hours in the day at the moment.

weekend round up – 10th July 2011 #F1 #NASCAR #Indycar

#F1 – So Alfonso pulls one off for the Prancing Horse with you know who second. Was it a great race? I missed it; just saw the first lap and JB’s botched pit stop, so make up your own minds. One thought on the new Silverstone; why have they put the pits in a trench? I mean we all know that they’re called the pits because they used to be holes in the ground, but, whilst I love retro stuff, isn’t that all a bit silly?

#NASCAR – At least the crowds apparently got in and out of the British GP without too much trouble, but Kentucky? All sorts of trouble apparently. And those that did get in had to watch the younger Ugly Brother win and then spend hours getting out again. Not a good result for any of my boys other than a good second for Rootie.

#IndyCar – Dario shoves WP off and out to take the win in Toronto. Naughty, naughty, but he got away with it and stretches his title lead.

weekend round up – 26th june 2011

Posted on June 27, 2011 by truckertoggle

#F1 – well the F1 boys seemed to have some sort of a parade down by the docks in Spain. Probably too hot for a proper race. Pretty much the usual finishing order through so I don’t suppose too many people noticed the difference.

#NASCAR – Way over at Sears Point the Ugly Brothers managed all the 1s with Big Ugky 1st and Little Ugly 11th. Jeff Gordon (somehow calling him The Kid these days doesn’t sound right) picked up a good second to further his good year and The Digger got 5th on a track that he usually goes well on.

#IndyCar – Marco picked up win number two almost 5 years after his first one. WP failed to finish so Dario goes back to the points lead.
