Well, here we go. This is my third or fourth attempt to start a motorsports blog. In the past, I’ve had pretty bold intentions, as far as all the things I wanted to do and say with a blog. But, when I’ve done this before, I’ve always put it to one side after starting it, or never felt I could justify the time. With this blog, my intention is to post twice a week. I’ve also been confronting something of a writer’s block with my professional writing, so I’m looking to use the blog to clear my head, knock out the writing cobwebs, and re-energize my historical writing. Let’s hope it works.

Once I make this blog public, we’ll see if anyone’s paying attention. Right now I see this as a hobby. So, if you are reading thanks a lot for stopping by.

Anyway, what kind of things am I going to do here? Well, I’d like to do some commentary about the world of motorsports and the intersections I see between motorsports, everyday life, and some of the issues, approaches, and ideas I’ve been exposed to and thought about in my career as a humanities academic. I don’t want to do individual race reports and that sort of thing – there are plenty of blogs and other places that do that sort of thing. So, we’ll see where this goes.

Again, thanks for stopping by!
