Gleaners Food Bank
Tailgate parties or chili around the TV for the big game are great. But, this, the foodie event of the Super Bowl, is of a totally different order. At Taste of the NFL, a chef from each pro team city (including Indy’s own Greg Hardesty) shows off his or her work at food stations while a current or former player from each city will be available for autographs and chat. TLC’s “Cake Boss” stars Joey Faugno and Mauro Castano will be on hand, too.
And don’t expect a mere cover band to be performing at this high-end event: On stage will be country star Sara Evans. (Give a listen to her here.) Details on the event, which benefits Gleaners Food Bank, here.

















CHRISTMAS CRACKERS !!!!
Sorry to tell you but it is starting to get that way again. Penske controls who gets the Ilmor and KK will control who will get the Cosworth when they end up back into the series. We have already seen examples of this when Penske led the campaign that kept the Judd under powered even though the rules agreed to by the manufacturers allowed Indy Car to make modification in order to equalize competition. Didn't have the power to fight Honda, but walked all over Judd.
Ritz - a good hotel and a great cracker.
Triscuits
Truth, unlike you, I will be enjoying my favorite racing series this weekend. The only thing to remember about cart is to not forget why it died. Because the team owners were allowed to run it. no major race series follows this model. Those who do not remember their history are forced to repeat it.
