One year later!

2010-04-04T17:31:00.002-07:00

Ok its been a little while!! The racing season here in Virginia starts next week at the local speedway. We are moving to Georgia in 2 months, so hopefully there is a speedway near the house. Anyways I got a video I'm going to post hopefully soon.

It's Race Time!!!!!

2009-04-11T17:26:00.004-07:00

Well I'm back!! Sorry, it has been so long. We just got back from Langley Speedway. Izzy did good she clapped every time the cars came by us. I think she actually enjoyed, but she couldn't stand the caution laps. Here are some pictures and sorry about the date on the pics.

Izzy Hits The Campaign Trail!!

2008-10-13T14:40:00.012-07:00

Today we took Izzy to see John McCain and Sarah Palin at the Virginia Beach Convention Center! I have to say it was very exciting!!!! We got to see Hank Williams and guess what, he is a Redskins fan! He was wearing a #96 Jersey I think, but it was hard to see.

Quick Notes From the Trail

- They say Hampton Roads is a Bellwether for Virginia. If this is true it's very good for McCain, the crowd was huge and excited.

- Special needs parents where out in force. That's one demographic McCain shouldn't have to worry about.

- Republican women just look better!! Lots of hotties in the crowd!! lol

Funniest Moment

While I was waiting to get into the Convention Center there where a hand-full of protesters (15 tops). One protester had a sign that said "750 billion spent in Iraq". So I said to her; " WOW that's all! That's cheaper then bailing out Wall Street." What make this so funny is she actually shut up and was a loss for words.

The name that got the biggest boos wasn't Obama, but Nancy Pelosi and the word I heard the most in the crowd was "Socialism".

RIP Paul Newman

Izzy Endorses McCain

2008-08-30T19:06:00.006-07:00

Izzy has decided to endorse John McCain for president. After learning today that Sarah Palin's husband is a champion snowmobile racer, she was convinced that this was the correct choice. Not to mention the fact that most of OBama's followers only want change because they don't want to work for what they need. They want a redistribution of wealth and handouts from the government and that's what we call SOCIALISM!! Izzy hates Socialism.

Oh, here is the commercial that the Obama Campaign doesn't want you to see.

Izzy's favorite car

2008-08-16T20:59:00.003-07:00

Well I guess Izzy is a David Reutimann fan. She had a spazz attack when she saw this car. Actually it was the 99 car in the Nationwide race today, but same paint scheme.

Hmmm

2008-05-10T12:43:00.004-07:00

Sorry, It's been so long but I've been out of town. I was in Alabama, Idaho and I'm heading to Cali on Monday. Lets see Izzy is 1 now and has attended her first race. In female racing news Danica Patrick won a Indy race and Ashley Force won a Funny Car race. Now its time for pics.

Izzy Update

2008-01-16T20:10:00.000-07:00

The girl is a speed demon. Nothing is sacred and if you turn your back for 2 seconds she will crawl her self into some trouble. She is standing and trying to walk so soon she will be ready for her first car. She got a push car for Christmas and loves to be pushed around on it as fast as you can, the faster the better. I think I have decided that I'm going to have her first birthday party at the Go-Kart track at Fort Eustis and then head to Langley Speedway for the races later that night.

It's almost Race time.

2008-01-16T19:53:00.000-07:00

It's almost Race time. The racing seasons are about to get started so it's time for me to start rambling. We got the 24hours of Daytona at the end of the month and then in Feb we got speed week. This should be a interesting NASCAR season with little E in the 88 and all the Indy and F1 talent coming on board. I don't think there is anyone left in the Indy series so maybe Danica will win one this year. Lewis Hamilton is going to take the F1 title this year (even with out Ferrari parts). My other bold prediction of the year is someone is going to get smart and put Erin Crocker in a Cup car by the end of this year (she is in the first 2 Craftsman Truck Series races of the year). http://www.evernhammotorsports.com/main.cfm?pagename=ec_bio

Sorry It's been so long

2008-01-16T19:46:00.000-07:00

2007-11-29T11:35:00.001-07:00

Sorry it's been so long since my last post. I was in Vegas got sick and then just got lazy. Let's see on the Izzy front the girl is crawling and climbing on everything. She is extremely fast and her new nick name is Busy Izzy! I tried calling Langley Speedway today to find out about renting a tent there for Isabella's first birthday, but the guy I need to talk to wasn't in. I have a feeling it's going to be out of my price range (the tents are for 50 to 100 people). Later today I'm going to check out the Go Kart track at Fort Eustis http://www.eustismwr.com/eustismwr.phtml?pageid=19 I have a feeling that will be more in my price range. I'll try to post some pics and videos later today.

Scoot, Scoot, Sit

2007-10-23T07:54:00.000-07:00

Izzy just had her 6 month well baby check- up and everything is OK. Izzy is finally on the move and nothing is safe. She has been scooting around for the last 3 weeks and has become really good at it. She can also sit up by her self (so it goes scoot, scoot, sit, look, scoot, grab and put in mouth). Maybe she won’t be a driver but a detective, because if you lost it she will find it (no matter how small).

Pics for the week

2007-09-30T17:41:00.000-07:00

2 crazy races this weekend. I actually stayed up and watched the F1 race it ended around 0330 Sunday morning. It was amazing watching those cars drive in the rain. I think everyone on the track spun at least once. I only watched part of the NASCAR race (football). I thought the end was kind of cheap, it would have been nice to have a Green White Checker. Well here are some updated pics.

It's Almost Christmas

2007-09-18T11:16:00.000-07:00

Sorry, I haven’t updated lately. I was in Sacramento last week and I went to the Richmond Nextel Cup race. I’ll be posting some pics of the race later. Izzy is scooting now and I give her about a month and she will be crawling. Yesterday she was getting up on her knees so it’s just a matter of time. We learned last week she hates strangers, her mom left her with a baby sitter and she cried for 4 hours (The moment she saw mommy again it was all smiles). I’m going to start adding Christmas ideas for her first Christmas on this page. Christmas idea #1 NASCAR Baby http://www.target.com/gp/detail.html/sr=8-12/qid=1190139105/ref=sr_8_12/602-5619469-3131004?ie=UTF8&asin=B000M345E2

Pavlov's Dog

2007-08-21T05:53:00.000-07:00

Well it was a boring weekend for racing. Izzy had her 4 month well baby checkup yesterday and got 4 shots. She was in a bad mood all day yesterday. Other news on the Izzy front she is pulling her knees up when she is on her stomach (can’t take her hands out of her mouth long enough to get up on her hands and knees). I asked the doctor yesterday why she cries so much and found out I’m a dog and she’s Pavlov (she trained me well). I’m looking into having her first birthday party at Langley Speedway and will give updates when I firm things up.

Langley Speedway

2007-08-11T05:38:00.000-07:00

Well tonight I'm going to Langley Speedway!! I love going up there and watching the Legend Cars race. Langley is a Half mile asphalt track that is a blast. I'll try to take some pictures of Izzy's future track (they race Go-Karts on Sundays). I've been thinking maybe I should get a second job, so I can go ahead and get a Go-Kart now. This way I can learn how to tune a Kart and race my self before Izzy is in the seat. Hmmmmm maybe I should change the name of this site to "My Addiction". Don't forget tonight Indy Cars are in Kentucky, Busch cars are racing at the Glen and the truck series is invading Nashville.

I'm Back!!

2007-08-05T18:12:00.000-07:00

I'm Back!! Bella is doing well. She found her hands and likes to put them in her mouth. Bella is also rolling over now and starting to grab at things (she had her feet today and was trying to put them in her mouth). Soon my friends she will be driving a car. Some time this week I will put some photos up.

Female racing news:
Danica Patrick ran into some bad luck again. She had a very good chance to win her first race today at Michigan but cut a tire down instead, Danica ended the race in 7th. Sarah Fisher finished in 16th and Milka Duno some how still has a ride. Erin Crocker finished 4th in the Pocono ARCA race. Erin continues to impress, she is by far the best female racer in any series. Erins only problem is she is dating her boss Everham and its hard to take anyone seriously when they sleep with the boss.

I really want to talk about that idiot Robby Gordon and the McLaren team in F1 but I don't have the time. Check back tomorrow and maybe I'll rant.

Sorry again!

2007-07-20T17:10:00.000-07:00

I have been busy unpacking and cleaning all week and now I'm headed out the door on my way to New Jersey. I will be gone all next week and probably won't update at all. If you're wondering I'm headed to Cape May (Izzy's first time at the Ocean). I just read an interesting article at NASCAR.com that was about young drivers and Legend cars http://www.nascar.com/2007/news/headlines/cup/07/20/dblaney.kwallace.mgreen.kids.racing/index.html.

Update

2007-07-16T17:19:00.000-07:00

It's been a hectic week! I didn't get to watch all the races I wanted to. I completely missed the IRL race, but Danica finished 3rd (nice). I did watch the ARCA race and was very impressed by Erin Crocker. Erin started on pole and got spun under a caution early on (not her fault) and was able to race her way back into the top 10. Hopefully Everham will give her a Busch ride next year (maybe I'll get her to mentor Bella).

Moving

2007-07-12T20:50:00.000-07:00

Sorry I haven't updated, but I'm in the process of moving. Izzy needs a room of her own. I'll try to update this weekend with some female racing news.

Mucho Loco

2007-07-09T05:18:00.001-07:00

I’m sure everyone has seen the fight! What the hell is going on in IRL? I have to admit I loved it. Well Danica had a so-so day and Fisher was never in contention. For half a second I thought Danica had a chance to win. If only she could have gotten a yellow when she was up front and that race was hers.

Izzy and I spent the weekend working on my Jeep. Just a FYI it’s a pain in the ass to change spark plugs when you are holding a baby, but Izzy really likes the sound of engines. She spent the rest of the weekend watching the races. We are falling in love with F1. Hamilton is absolutely amazing and I know people are disappointed he finished 3rd, but in all reality that is a great finish. The end of the Nextel Cup race was absolutely amazing (I believe it was the closest in Daytona history).

Ready for some racing!

Richmond

2007-07-03T05:03:00.000-07:00

Female Racing News:

Katherine Legge finished 11th in Champ car this weekend
Danica Patrick finished 6th after a great pit stop in the late going. If she can keep it up she will be winning soon.
Sarah Fisher finished 16th
Milka Duno finished 19th and looked like she didn’t belong out there.

Thoughts about the Richmond IRL race:
I had a great time even though the action was a little lack luster. Dario dominated the entire race. He passed TK once on a restart like he was standing still. Milka Duno looked like crap and I’m starting to wonder if she should be out there. The funniest thing I noticed was when they announced Dan Weldon all the Danica fans Booed (opps I mean everyone). Scariest moment of the day was almost getting run over, by Gene Simmons golf-cart (lol). I have to give props to Marco Andretti, he actually noticed his fans when signing autographs (unlike some drivers).

2007-06-28T12:29:00.000-07:00

This must be just like living in paradise and I don't want to go home. That's a little sarcasm! WTF Northwest Airlines!!!! NWA has been canceling flights all week and I'm a little worried I won't get out of here. I guess if I have to stay I'll be hanging out at NODAK Speedway. NODAK has a 1/8th mile drag strip and are racing all weekend. Hopefully I'll get out though and make it to the IRL race in Richmond. Oh, if you ever come to North Dakota in the summer you still need a jacket (yesterday we had a high of 63). Tomorrow I should be flying all day so I won't be updating. Saturday is the IRL Race, but I'll try to update before I go. Sunday I'll be posting pics of the race. See ya!!

TEXACO!!42

2007-06-26T16:44:00.000-07:00

Sorry, I haven't updated! I've been busy working. There isn't much to say, because I'm out of the loop (What I mean is I'm in North Dakota). I did go to the Races Sunday night at the NODAK Speedway and it rocked. The last race was so close I had to wait after it ended to find out who won. I almost wish all races were in the dirt. How about that TEXACO car Sunday in Calli? I called it damn it!!!! I don't care if all my other picks were crap.

Quick Update

2007-06-24T15:41:00.001-07:00

I’m about to head out the door to go watch some dirt racing!! I promised an update so here we go.

Female Racing News/Results:
Champ Car World Series- Katherine Legge finished 15th out of 16 cars.
Craftsman Truck Series- Kelly Sutton finished 20th 3 laps down.
IRL- Sarah Fisher impressed today with a 7th place finish. Danica Patrick finished 13th, she was involved in an accident that wasn’t her fault. Milka Duno finished 18th.

This is going to be a rough week so please be patient.

North Dakota Speedway

2007-06-23T15:29:00.000-07:00

I'm in Minot!! It reminds me of a 3rd World Country. My cell phone doesn't work and I have yet to see a proper building. Things are starting to look up though, I found a track!! http://www.nodakraceclub.com/ The North Dakota Speedway is a Dirt track and they have a race tomorrow night. The race starts at 6pm and I'll be there, so look for the BellaSRacing shirt if you're in the area. I've been working all day so I have no female racing news, but I promise to update tomorrow.

Why not Minot?

2007-06-21T12:10:00.000-07:00

I won't be posting tomorrow because I'll be on a plane. I'm heading to North Dakota for the week. I'll try to post Saturday if i can, but I'm not sure if my hotel is going to have Internet.

Lets see this weekend NASCAR is at Infinion, IRL is at IOWA, Champ Car is in Clevland and F1 has the week off. Check out http://www.indycar.com/ they are having people vote on Danica's new look (The 'Kanaan').

My predictions:
NASCAR - Juan Pablo Montoya
IRL - Danica finally gets that monkey off her back!!!
Champ Car - Sebastien Bourdais (Sorry I had to go with at least one sure thing)

Saturday I will try to give you some Female Racing news.

Never Fear

2007-06-19T06:56:00.000-07:00

It amazes me how little information there is out there about female drivers. I was just at Lyn St. James web site www.lynstjames.com and clicked on the woman in racing link and to my surprise there where a lot of links. I started to check out the links on that page and realized most of these sites haven’t been updated in at least a year. I guess the question is where are all the great female drivers at? Did they all just run away and hide? I know there is a ton of talent out there. Well never fear people because The Izzy will be on the scene soon enough.

Rubber & Fuel

2007-06-18T09:27:00.000-07:00

I love the smell of rubber and fuel. I went to Capital Raceway Saturday and had a blast. Anyone that drag races motorcycles is completely insane though (just had to say that). I’ve been thinking that maybe Junior Dragster would be kind of cool (only if I have to move and there is no track). Hamilton won his second race in F1 and a star is born. I can’t believe that idiot in charge of F1 said, they don’t need the USA. I think they should expand their races to include a place like Laguna Seca or Infineon to get a west coast crowed.

Female Racing News:

-The IRL had the weekend off, so that takes out about half the female drivers I know.
- Erin Crocker finished 3rd this weekend at the Michigan ARCA Race.

Sorry, there wasn’t that much to report. I guess next week I’ll have to start adding NHRA.

Capital Raceway

2007-06-15T07:26:00.001-07:00

Well I’m about to head up to Maryland for my brothers wedding, so this will probably be my last update for the weekend. If I get the chance I’m going to head up to Capital Raceway www.capitolraceway.com/ (It’s a NHRA sanctioned ¼ mile). If you’re at the track this weekend look for a BellaSRacing T-shirt. I would like to check out the Jr. Dragsters, just in case I ever move to a place with out a proper track.

This should be a good weekend for Racing!

2007-06-14T07:13:00.000-07:00

This weekend we have 24 hours at Le Mans, F1 in Indy and NASCAR at Michigan. I’m predicting another victory for Hamilton and after Indy the McLaren team is going to tell Hamilton to let Alonso win. The Izzinator is still on track and hope to have her in something motorized in the next 10 months. So is Kyle Busch a primadona? To hear some people talk about him he is a pain in the arse, but those are just fans. I wonder how much truth there is to it though. I suspect Kyle is going to end up racing for Ginn Racing. NASCAR is starting to turn into a bad episode of “As The World Turns”, but it sure is a lot of fun. This weekend my brother is getting married, so I don’t know if I will be able to post again until Monday. Keep checking in though.

My Space

2007-06-13T08:48:00.000-07:00

Sorry, I forgot to post a pic last night. I did set up a MySpace account for BellaSRacing last night. Hopefully Myspace will help generate some more interest, so check it out and become a friend.

So I assume that everyone knows that Little E in going to Hendricks!!LOL!! I’m a huge Hendricks fan, but they are starting to parallel the Yanks. I guess now the question is where Kyle Busch will end up.

The Rock

2007-06-12T09:17:00.000-07:00

Not much to talk about today. Izzy is doing fine. Actually she has been cranky lately (Maybe she is a Gordon hater). I was reading Jayski and they are reporting that the IRL is thinking about having a race at Rockingham. Here is a link to Jayski’s http://www.jayski.com/cupnews.htm#tracks you should be able to find the article there. How cool would that be to have IRL cars battling it out at the Rock? I think I’ll post some more Pics later today. Oh I almost forgot to give a shout out to my oldest daughter Sierra (Izzy’s Big Sis) on receiving a Presidential Academic Achievement Award. I guess Sierra is going to be the brains of this operation.

What a weekend

2007-06-11T06:07:00.000-07:00

Wow what a weekend of Racing!! Danica finished 3rd in Texas and Hamilton won his first race in F1. If you have been reading this blog then you know I said, “Hamilton would win in Montreal”. Did you see that horrific crash in the F1 race? My first thought was that Kubica was dead. My wife said, “She was thinking about that all day and now isn’t sure she wants Izzy to be a driver”. Happy to report that Kubica only suffered a few scratches/bruises and Izzy is still on track to be a driver. Please tell me what you think of the shirt!

2007-06-09T13:06:00.000-07:00

Female Racing News:

-Kelly Sutton crashed on the second lap of the Sam's Town 400 finishing 33.
-Chrissy Wallace wins a Late Model Race at the Hickory Motor Speedway. First time a woman has ever won a major race there.
-Danica, Sarah and Milko all Race tonight in the Bombardier Learjet 550k at Texas Motor Speedway.

I think I'm going to add this as a weekly column. It's really hard to find info on female drivers. So I figured I would consolidate the weeks events here. The media only seems to care about Danica but there are a tons of other female drivers out there. Don't get me wrong, the Danica hype is great, it got my daughters interested racing, but there are more female racers out there then just Danica.

IZZY Info:
On to the IZ-myster news. Well she slept through the night last night, lets hope the trend continues. Coincidence or not, but she was fussy earlier today and I put on Formula 1 practice and she got quiet and started to coo.. If you guys didn't know F1 is in Montreal this weekend and Fox will be brodcasting it on Sunday at 1pm. I'm predicting Hamilton will win his first race.

Shirt News-- My Prototype shirt just arived and it looks great. Pics to be posted soon.

Everyone do me a favor and click on the adds on this page (every penny helps!). Please spread the word and help get this site out there. Thanks!! El Pez Gordo

Shirt Update

2007-06-07T16:44:00.000-07:00

Well, my shirt just shipped and I should have a picture of it up on the site Saturday. I already have a few people interested in the shirts. If anyone else wants one let me know, so I know how many to order. I'll be selling them basically at cost to start for advertising purposes. If you want one send me an email. I won't be updating tomorrow because I'm going with my older daughter Sierra to Busch Gardens.

2007-06-07T05:17:00.000-07:00

Well I ordered a prototype of the BellaSRacing T-Shirt, should have it soon. I added a few pics today so enjoy. I have had a few people ask why I'm doing this so early. It's simple the easiest way into racing is to promote ones self. Racing is all about promoting!

A few Questions:

Will Isabella win an IRL race before Danica Patrick, Milka Duno and Sarah Fisher?

Will I see you at the Richmond IRL race?

Who is your favorite driver?

Oh I want to give a shout out to my local short track http://www.langley-speedway.com/. If you're ever in the Hampton area I highly recommend a Saturday at the track.

Ladies start your engines!!!

Last night it became clear to me that Izzy is destine to become a driver. When she is really mad there are only two things that make her happy going outside and getting in a car. Oh and I mean car we have a Van but she hates it. So what do being outside and cars have in common RACING!!!! I know I'm stretching it. I've had my brother working on a logo and hopefully soon we will have shirts and hats for sale. I think I'm going to have some shirts made up before the Richmond IRL race. So if your at the Race and see a BellaSRacing T-Shirt say Hi. Oh if your interested in my brothers work check out his site http://www.twitcreations.com/ .

OK I just set up a new Email account just for this site BellaSRacing@GMail.com If you are interested in becoming a sponsor or donating to the race team send us an email. Also sometime this weekend I'll be setting up a Pay Pal account with that Email so you can send money directly to that account. Keep checking back I'll try to post at least once a week.

In the begining

Isabella is now 7 weeks old. She is smiling, making eye contact and reeking general havoc. I decided to start this site to chronicle her life.

I found Izzy’s first Go Kart http://www.toysrus.com/product/index.jsp?productId=2334535&cp=2255961.2256575.2256631&parentPage=family . People complain in the reviews about it being to small but it’s only for a year. When she turns 2 I’ll get her a power wheel corvette or something like that. When she’s 4 I’ll get a 50cc Go Kart http://www.tsracing.com/store/showdetl.cfm?&DID=7&Product_ID=1533&CATID=24 I’m going to start looking at swap meets for one.

Wow I just found a summer camp for kids that is all racing http://www.campmotorsport.com/
