Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

Cass, what venue was the race (i.e. HSR, SCCA, etc)? Paul's been racing for quite some time. In fact, he was still competing in the 24 of Hours of Daytona just a few years back (though his age is starting to show on the track).
It was SCCA-sanctioned.

Actually Newman raced several times at Riverside when my dad was racing there too. Nice guy and loves him his racing. Even at 81...

His Champ team just won their third championship in a row yesterday at Surfers as well.

Hi, my name is Cass and I am a racing slut.

Airstream, you may come to regret having admitted you know this.
HUSH YOU!

When you're racing - it's life. Anything that comes before or after is just waiting.

I'm a huge race facefan too so I completely don't mind. In fact, the sheer reality that she (and you) (1) knows that Paul Newman races and (2) actually cares that he in fact races something other than NASCAR pleases me infinitely. :D

In fact, I was just at a race in Birmingham last weekend. HUGE RACE FAN!!!!

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Real or Photoshop?

[eta: Nevermind, I just noticed the URL on the image. D'oh!]

Still pretty funny, though.

t hugs Airstream tightly

So... Which series do you follow? And why am I only finding this out at the Very End of the season?????

Also, you can quiz Trudy, she is quite knowledgable. And it is fun.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

It is SO much fun.

My name is Trudy. I watch open wheel in bars. On the phone with Cass.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Wow. Paul Newman - racecar driver and salad dressing connoisseur....

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

I place the blame squarely where it belongs: Firefly.

If a single show is to be blamed for the industry-wide trend of abandoning theme songs, I think Enterprise would be the far likelier candidate.

Because books.

Are you a NASCAR fan, Cass, or ... another kind of racing?

I copyedited six or seven books about NASCAR drivers and races and history for HarperCollins about eight years ago, and I was surprised to find myself turning on the races just to see the people I'd read so much about.

Hmmmm. How to answer this question? Let's see. I follow mostly IMSA related venues (i.e. GrandAm, ALMS, etc.), and I *attend* most HSR events. I've actually met Paul. Very nice man. Most beautiful blue eyes. (They really are as blue as they seem on screen). ::sigh::

::returns hug to Cass::

And, I of course follow F1 as well.
