Sunday morning #USGP weekend. A cool 1978 photo. The pale blue, unmistakable guard rails of Watkins Glen. James Hunt hustling his distinctively-branded McLaren-Cosworth M-26. Apologies, couldn't identify the photog. Enjoy your #COTA #F1 race today my friends..! #LetsGoRacing

#FerrariFriday, the #Ferrari 333P, iconic & hugely successful race car. Some kid out of Como, Italy shows up at the '96 #Rolex24, puts on a show, and immediately earns the nickname Mad Max @maxpapis , and also became personally responsible for speed limits at @DAYTONA RIP Giampiero Moretti

Happy Birthday Alex #Pineapple @CGRTeams #IndyCar

#Waiting, a poignant Pete Lyons photo from the evening before the '67 Las Vegas Stardust Can-Am Race. Chaparral's Jim Hall -thinking, Sandy Hall -reading, the mechanics- race prep. Hall Qualified 2nd- DNF. Race won by Surtees followed by Donohue & Mike Spence. Only 10 finishers.

#MarioMonday in 1988 a new livery on the Newman-Haas Lola had @MarioAndretti in Victory Lane at PHX to start the season. He had another victory in Cleveland, and 5 more podiums including three consecutive 3rd place finishes at Elkhart Lake, Nazareth & Laguna Seca #IndyCar #Indy500

#FerrariFriday , Little Leaf, Stefan Johansson, #MonacoGP 1985, such a distinctive photo with the rock wall on the Grand Prix circuit @neetally @ferrari24H @MonettiDario @Rinoire @gmracingblue @orsoladelzenero @greggkrupa @3c3p3d @Cosito1Horacio @Marco_Coello @CarlosJGlez10 @alvpe

Villeneuve: “… as for the rain, I didn’t mind it a bit. Nothing in the world would have made me stop. I wanted to finish in the first three so I could go up on the podium and if I had stopped in the pits it would have undermined all my efforts. It was a risk I took and I knew the consequences. That’s my way of racing and I can’t see any justification for doing it #WingWednesday

To all my running friends. The only thing you can do to enhance your race on Sunday is to get as much DEEP, SOUND SLEEP as possible. Don't undermine your race with worry, leave worry at home. Celebrate your health & vigor @FreepMarathon @TOwaterfront42k #running #Marathon

#MarioMonday #F1 Watkins Glen, Oct.6,'74. In the sleek VPJ4 . @MarioAndretti was fastest on Friday. A slight off Saturday resulted in starting 3rd. The car wouldn't start on the grid and was sadly DSQ. Firestone then withdrew from F1 which damaged the car's future performance

The 2nd Monday of Oct. is Thanksgiving in 🇨🇦. We can’t wait till the 4th Thursday of Nov because 85% of us would be going to Gramma’s by snowmobile. Here’s my family preparing the turkey about 1:00PM yesterday on the family farm. Kids, dogs, food , fun & love ..!

Technology is meant to make things better, correct..? What's the matter with this..? #F1 needs to get back to this - racing, like these gods of the sport displayed in their careers. #f1 you've lost your way, you need an interdiction #f1 #SingaporeGP Mario, Gilles, Dan Gurney, et al

To the community. This sport has been life, my over-riding passion. For myself I don't need to read the detailed descriptions of accidents like the one that took Francois Cevert's life. Let's just celebrate his courage, commitment, charisma. RIP Francois

#F1 racers. From the 30's,40's,50's to today. The public fell madly in love with these men: Jim Clark, @MarioAndretti, Gilles & Arnoux and so, so ,so many others; brave, courageous, wild, skillful, charismatic daredevils. Let the men & teams race..!

#FerrariFriday Watkins Glen 1971 @MarioAndretti qualified 6th, but did not start due to an #IndyCar conflict at Trenton. Similar situation for Mark Donahue. @MonettiDario @Cosito1Horacio @FastestSurgeon @neetally @jim_knipe @greggkrupa @jermann_kurt @HappyPete55 @ferrari24H @jpappone

I’m giving the Head Groundskeeper here at Chateau du Lac a good A- for his attention to the details here this summer. What do you think..?

#ThrowbackThursday : Gordon Johncock, Patrick Racing and George Bignotti had an outstanding 1978 USAC season in the Wildcat-Offy. 16 races; 2 wins at PHX & Trenton, then six 3rd place finishes: Texas, Indy, MKE, MIS & the Fall PHX race = 50% of the races on the Podium #IndyCar #Indy500

If you're in or around Detroit this weekend, @MarioAndretti & @GanassiChip will be headlining the American Speed Festival at M1 Concourse (Pontiac,MI.) this coming Sat. Oct. 3rd, tickets still available #IndyCar
