    Welcome!!

    What a difference a year makes.
    I am back in the saddle of
    motorsports officiating having
    signed on with IndyCar as the
    voice' of Race Control,
    communicating with the teams  
    and participants of the series.
    I will also be joining the Race
    Control staff of the American
    Le Mans Series as the com-
    municator to the volunteer
    corner marshals at five of their
    events this year.

    It stacks up as an incredibly
    busy season, and as new  
    projects develop, you will see
    them appear here. In '08 and
    '09 I had plenty to do for
    individual collectors and teams,
    most of which were not avail-
    able to the public, but I've created
    a new 'Gallery' page to prove I've
    still been at it.

    Thanks to everyone who has made
    a purchase, left a note or visited
    the site during these two last
    years I've been away from the
    track. Let's see what the rest of
    the year brings!

"That was pretty cool. It was a very nice tribute to
the way things used to be in racing. A real
throwback… and Swintal did a good job too. Not only
did it look really good, but he avoided getting killed."
