I’m Jon, 1987-aged, born and raised in Georgia, left for 15 yrs, came back, married a rabbi, got some kids, cats and chickens, and in the past couple years, I have become about as obsessed with motor racing as it is possible to be.

On here to post about racing and befriend people who do so as well.

Two Indy cars racing around a giant spider at Barber Motorsports Park

Two children with red hair in opposite-colored rec soccer uniforms, the smaller one with their face censored by a loving skull emoji, the larger one’s face censored by a slack-jawed unicorn emoji with star eyes. They’re striking power poses in front of a Home Depot #20 Chevy Monte Carlo NASCAR Cup car from the Tony Stewart era, but it is being driven by someone else in a historics race.

Me and my bros, two of whom I’ve known since we were four years old, smiling arm and arm in sunglasses at a NASCAR race

Piastri winning in Mexico would be pretty epic

Hopefully at some point the Monaco ePrix will replace the Monaco Grand Prix as the world’s most prestigious street race, and then choosing a single-seater series will just be a matter of specialty

Time to go bus racing

Right, a lot of factors are getting mixed up here tangentially to my initial point, but also that’s kind of reflective of the era change in FE. The star veterans in FE (+ hypercar) now are just great drivers who took a FE job for the pay, but they have thus improved outcomes for these new F2 guys.
