Welcome to the 2011 Formula 1 and IndyCar seasons!

Welcome to the 2011 Formula 1 and IndyCar seasons!


It's a sure sign of warmer months coming when the Formula 1 and IndyCar seasons begin.  Formula 1 started this weekend with the season opener in Australia, as did IndyCar with its opener in St. Petersburg, FL.

Seeing the races this weekend reminded me of when I took our family to see the IndyCar race at Watkins Glen International Speedway in 2009 and 2010.  I decided to post this photo to celebrate the season!

This is a shot that I grabbed at 1/2500 of a second of Helio Castroneves leading the pack at the IndyCar race at Watkins Glen in 2009.

There's nothing like the sound of 20 or so of these Indy cars when they all go screaming by together at 170 MPH at the start of the race.  650 HP each.  It takes your breath away...
