Sorry for no updates over the last couple weeks. Seemingly I have anywhere between 2-5 papers per week with the combination of class, Marquette Tribune and Marquette Journal articles.
Racing-wise Jenson Button has in fact wrapped the Formula 1 title in Brazil, capping a really stunning year when he and the team formerly known as Honda faced the brink of extinction but saved by Ross Brawn and co., winning 6 of the first 7 races and making fewer mistakes down the stretch despite lacking the raw pace and results of the rest of the competitors. Spare a thought for Rubens Barrichello, though, once again the bridesmaid in F1 and at his home race, this time thanks to a late-race puncture.
ALMS had an incredible battle between Jorg Bergmeister and Jan Magnussen for the GT2 win at Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca, a controversial accident between the two on the front straight of the last lap.
And Atlantic wound up with John Edwards snatching the title from both his teammate Jonathan Summerton and season-long points leader Simona de Silvestro at the final race. I hope the series lasts into 2010 but with a microscopic car count and reported lack of payout to this year's competitors according to SPEEDTV.com reports, I'm not overly optimistic.
IndyCar - ranked 4th on this review, that shows how low I think it's fallen - ended with Dario Franchitti taking the title on a fuel mileage win over Scott Dixon and Ryan Briscoe. The Ganassi/Penske brigade swept 16 of 17 races in a very forgettable season, the series also not helped by its move to VERSUS despite improved time commitments and better coverage. Much uncertainty in that series' future.
Still a couple things in the pipeline I am waiting to go online. Otherwise this mid-term break will be a very needed bit of time off from a very hectic and draining first half of the first semester of junior year. Out for now, cheers.
