The Canadian Grand Prix started in very wet conditions, but only the two Haas cars started on full wet tires, with everyone else on the intermediates. Initially, it seemed like the right choice for Haas, but the track started to dry, and the advantage was gone. There were a couple of safety cars due to crashes (something we don't get very often these days), and through it all Max Verstappen managed to claim another win. His team mate, Sergio Perez (who's just signed with Red Bull for another two years), was one of those who didn't make the finish, along with both Ferraris. Behind Max were three British drivers, Lando Norris in the first McLaren and then George Russell and Lewis Hamilton in their Mercedes. Oscar Piastri was fifth in the second McLaren. You can see the race highlights here. It was obviously a bad weekend for Ferrari, but McLaren and Mercedes seem to be closing the gap to Red Bull. We have a two-week break now before three races in a row back in Europe at the Spanish, Austrian and British Grand Prix.

I retired at 60....34 years before his retirement age.

reminds me of a Johnny Paycheck song....Take this 2x4 and shove it....!

A lot of people in Hazzard County were involved in RACING cars

Sad news in western Pennsylvania. 3 young men were killed Saturday evening when they slammed into a tree. Ages 17, 19 and 21. They rode dirt bikes on local MX tracks. Trying to figure out if I have any action shots of them from the race I went to on June 1. I don't know any of them though.
