You Might Not Follow or Like This

This is the Statt Mann Baby. Time to Scatt a little bit. Here’s something to consider if you looked at the Royal Wedding Saturday and fell in love with all things British.

More Woes Around Verstappen

This is the Statt Mann Baby. Time to Scatt a little bit. Daniel Ricciardo slammed into the back of Red Bull teammate Max Verstappen near the end of the Azerbaijan Grand Prix Sunday.

Experiencing Life a Little

This is the Statt Mann. Time to Scat a little bit… You know what we don’t do enough? We don’t experience life. We tend to watch it wash by in a flash flood of moments, cheering for someone else’s success and not our own. I didn’t watch much Motorsports this weekend. Television isn’t a priority…

Ever Think of Pro Football?!

This is the Statt Mann Baby. Time to Scatt a little bit. The televised football offerings in Los Angeles were so hideously bad I had to turn on the NASCAR race from New Hampshire for amusement Sunday. I promptly yawned and couldn’t stop. Thankfully NHRA drag racing from St. Louis was an option. I’m appreciating…

Simulated Racing’s Future?

This is the Statt Mann Baby. Time to Scatt a little bit. I rarely comment on articles I read on websites. But that’s what I did this week after reading a report on driverless motorsports competition. That’s right; full-sized remote controlled cars competing against one another. For some reason the idea appeals to me. Current…
