Each year, your humble editors like to run one epic event. We do it because, well, it seems epic and we like epic. And, of course, we do it to share with Team Winding Road members and friends. Last year, we did Targa Newfoundland. This year, we thought we’d run the 25 Hours Of Thunderhill. Here’s the car we chose; it arrived over the weekend.
The Formula 1 race season has come to a close, and so has our fantasy season. Thank you for playing with Team Winding Road. Congratulations to our Rgodby of Team Laramie for your overall win in our league.
Sitting outside the Advanced Autosports semi between races at a Midwestern Council event at Road America back in August, Jim Kettelkamp casually mentioned a potential trip to Virginia International Raceway (VIR) for the 13 Hour SCCA Charge Of The Headlight Brigade endurance race in October. Already having enlisted Steve Krock, a suspension mechanic on the Ed Carpenter IndyCar team, Doctor Jim was looking for a third driver for the team. I switched off all rational decision making processes for a few seconds and signed up.
Raise your hand if you’ve spent one-too-many hours playing fantasy football, baseball, or even basketball? We here at Winding Road are as guilty as anyone out there (hey, we work online, what do you expect?), and over the last few seasons, we’ve also gotten pretty obsessed with running our own imaginary Formula 1 teams.
