Hi again.  Thank you so much for listening.  I really appreciated the kind words that Kurt from Vallejo California sent along to me this week regarding how much he enjoys listening to the podcast.  GOD Bless you Kurt and have a great weekend !  

I didn’t get to visit Sonoma Raceway to see the SVRA’s visit in 2026 but I caught a little bit of their livestream coverage that featured historic NASCAR with a certain Porsche 935 and a certain GTO Ford Thunderbird.  

Also talked about a brilliant video I watched that was shot and mic’ed at the 2026 Monaco Historic Races.  

Thanks for listening!

Hello again, 

I was fortunate to be able to visit Sonoma Raceway at Sears Point for Friday of the 2026 GT World Challenge weekend.  It was unseasonably hot and was not as cool as it usually is visiting in late March.  Anyway, it was fun to catch up with these cars and remember what it was like to see sports car racing at Sears Point Raceway in years past.  

I was able to say hello to Craig Stanton who was a driver in the American Le Mans Series back in the early 2000's when he drove for the Petersen White Lightning Porsche GT Class team.  They owned and operated a Porsche 996 GT3-RSR racing car back in that period.  I saw Mr Stanton race in the #31 Porsche at Laguna Seca back in 2004 when Laguna Seca hosted its very first "day into night" 4 hour endurance race which was also the season finale in 2004.  Craig Stanton and Rick Knoop go way back.  

It was great to also meet Amanda Busick, Loni Unser and her Dad Johnny Unser.  

Thanks for listening!

Hello again 

just wanted to chat about seeing full F1 coverage on Apple TV.  From the looks of the qualifying show for the Fosters Australian Grand Prix it looks to be chock full of insight. At least one Brundle is on the broadcast.  Martin Brundle is my favorite pundit but I have a feeling that he is on the other side   

thanks for listening !

Hello again Racing Ears, 

I had the honor and privelidge of finally being able to visit the Indianapolis Motor Speedway Museum.  I want to thank my wife Monica, our son Ian, our adopted son Andrew, Bud Moeller, Jason Vansickle, and Jeff Oldham for making this visit possible.  

I was on a family trip and this has been on my bucket list for my entire life.  

God willing, I hope to be able to visit again to see the Indianapolis 500 in person.  

Thank you so much for listening!

I was listening to the audiobook “Tales of the Indianapolis 500” by Jack Arute and Jenna Fryer

Hello again Racing Ears, 

This is a special episode where I was fortunate to be able to have a chat with Rob Dyson and Rick Knoop at the same time.  Rob and Rick were both very gracious to spend time with me chatting about sports car racing / professional road racing in all of its splendor and lore that was rekindled during this glorious phone call during Christmas Break 2023.    

Rob Dyson is a professional race car driver and team principal at Dyson Racing and has been involved in the sport for over 45 years.  

I first observed Rob Dyson and Price Cobb driving the #16 Porsche 962 at Laguna Seca in the 1985 Nissan Monterey Triple Crown weekend which was a part of the IMSA Camel GT series, the same race where I first observed Rick Knoop driving the Jim Busby Racing #67 BF Goodrich Special Porsche 962.   

In 2001, I became reaquainted with sports car racing again following nearby events in the American Le Mans Series at Sears Point and Laguna Seca.  In 2002, Team Dyson brought out a new to them Lola MG that was in the LMP 675 class to Laguna Seca and subsequently had their first runs with the car after acquiring it after Petit Le Mans that year.   

One of the greatest triumphs in motorsports that I have witnessed occurred in 2003 at Sears Point were Dyson Racing in their Lola MG LMP 675 #16 racing car driven by James Weaver and Butch Leitzinger beat the ever dominant Team Joest Audi R8 LMP 900 for the outright win at the 2003 Grand Prix of Sonoma.  This victory has stood out in my memory for many years.    

I want to sincerely express my thanks to both Rick Knoop and Rob Dyson and Dyson Racing for allowing this call to happen.   

Thank you so much for listening to The Racing Ear Podcast!!
