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

What’s great about YouTube is that I can pause it when I go to bed and then just pick up where I left off when I’m chilling at the track tomorrow

I don’t know if practice airs on Racer, but that’s the only TV that has it. You can also stream with a paid sub to their website, but I do it via YouTube

I kinda just re-heard in my brain what Steve O’Donnell said on DJD and realized how lame it is to be like, “making our gigantic spec car do 50 more horsepower is really hard, ok”

Gotta say, it’s pretty damn cool to be attending an IMSA weekend and stay at my house instead of at a Holiday Inn
