Turn U-P the Volume! No Fenders turns 11 today...

Like TK' Follow-your-Schnoz! Kanaan, No Fenders turns another year older, wiser, Stronger 'N Smarter; Uhm; Oh Never Mind!

As TK' will forever be the No. 11 to Mwah. And why does it make me think of Randy "The Candymann" Bernard musing 'bout having bought Kanaan's Andretti Green Racing 7-11 Firesuitat a charity auction and having it framed 'N hanging in his IMS Office...

Yeah, Y'all know the drill by now, right? As another year's screamed by here in Nofendersville! Like how does 365 Days Zoom-Zoom' by obscenely quick, Eh!

Uhm? What's that thingy' called gravitational pull? And the Earth goes round the sun, Stars & Moon... Like am I experiencing a Solar Eclipse here right now? Whilst I'm definitely dealing with the effects 'O Super Corona's and Thar E' lectrical interferences...


With it not seeming that long ago I posted my 'Mega two part harmony; Err tome regaling ten years of prodigious typing when thoust knucels' haven't gotten in the way!


As your humble No Fenders scribe Tomaso's noticing a trend here, as perhaps it's the legendous' Dog Dazes 'O August; Err Summer? As once again I'm feeling largely apoplectic over motor racing at the moment, as Sigh! Lookie Thar', The Usual suspects are obliterating my top two Motorsports categories, i.e.; Formula 1 and IndyCar respectively...


And with Mercedes and Ferrari blocking out the Sun in F1 as typical, and El Capitano' (Roger Penske) buying another championship, perhaps?
          Although I'm NOT impressed with whatever's going on behind closed doors at Chip Ganassi Racing's IndyCar Operation, nonetheless I'm totally rootin' for Scotty thee Iceman 2.0 Dixon to BEAT the Penske Armada 'N STEAL the title at Sonoma!

As The Captain continues to cast his Team Pesky's nebulous Death Star shadow  upon the grid, eclipsing  Indy Cars field by simply purchasing the services of the best drivers, after trading his No. 8 Overall 2016 championship finisher Juan Pablo Montoya for the younger No. 4 finisher Josef STUD! Newgarden, giving him positions P1-4 for last year's IndyCar Driver rankings; CRIKEYS!

Alas, is it wrong that I clapped enthusiastically when Newgarden spun out exiting the Pitlane during the latter stages of Watkins Glen? Making me recall the agonizingly similar mistake of Team Penske's past Ryan Briscoe...

Since it seems an eternity now since I was truly JAZZED! Over Fernando Coming to Americre', even if many grew tired of the constant, nonstop 24/7 Hype, which truly softened Duh spotlights GLARE off of McLaren Honda's anemic F1 Team momentarily...


As the racing season winds down,
this year's title fights in Open Wheel Racing on both sides of the puddle seems largely Boring to Mwah!

With the only times lately I truly get a smile on my face, turn overly happy 'N ecstatic these Dazes since Sum-SUm-Summertime arrived, and we began another season's camping adventures...

Is when somebody different from 'lil Sid Viddle,aka Seb Vettel, Lewis Hamilton, Will Power, Scott Dixon, Simon Pagenaud, Josef Newgarden 'N HULIO' take the chequered flag! But I digress...

Alas, I've had far more fun going camping with Tacoma Bureau Chief Mary Ellen and her faithful co-pilot Pixie-the-Wonderdog; WUF-WUF! Along with handicapping the Formula 1 races immediately following the sliced, diced, chopped, pureed Nipped & Tucked Peacock-lite encore race presentations brought to us by Ghinzu Knifes!

Whenever the money-grubbin', overtly Capitalistic Jackarses at my El loco' cable TV service provider comca$t find it palatable to show us a NEUTERED 2hrs, if we're lucky replay - at a more reasonable Daylight airing...

Since I truly enjoy Kibitzing over the F1 races we can catch together with my fine Florentine F1 Fans Jeannie & Jonathan post race...

Albeit I do still marvel over that most glorious race at Mother Speedway this May, when Takuma Sato was victorious over everyone, especially beating the Speedway's Crown Prince Helio Castroneves!


for which Y'all can watch the following video I stumbled across on Youtube, which refreshingly notes Fans at Mother Speedway rejoicing over Taku-San's improvable Indy 500 win!


Tiny Bubbles...
And I do still enjoy poondin' out my riveting No Fenders tales for Y'all, some KURR-RAZY 11yrs later, even at my ever decreasing speed, along with faltering eyesight, which makes Blogging challenging even before thou Internetz', Blogger.com or Lucy', my ARSE-Steamed Screen Reader AIN'T acting up, as they've been doing the past week, causing me endless Headaches; SHEISA!

Hence, as typical, like the Drivers say after every race, Thanks to The Fans for showing up here in Nofendersville and reading my eclectic scribblings upon No Fenders!

Whilst this Uber' eclectic mix 'N veritable Spin Cycle 'O finely honed Thomason' Tex-Mex Jambalaya of Wordsmithing wouldn't be possible without A-L-L of the Usual suspects continued yearly support, led by Tacoma Bureau Chief Mary Ellen and Blogmeister' Miguel! Along with contributions from Snowbyrd MJ', Randal, Thy Moniker King' and the Florencians. And thou Austin contingent Clyde & Nelie plus numerous pictures from 'Offical No Fenders Photographer CARPETS. And the still Mega' Killer official No Fenders logo provided by Artiste Dave!


Oh Yeah, what would be the point without the hours of joyous affection from Thy Pixolator, nee Pixie-the-Wonderdog; WUF-WUF!

And never fear, A-LL 3 of my loyal readers, I'm going nowheres; groan; Hya! As I've gotta run the string out at least another year to the number 12, since after all DJ Willy P', as Jeffrey Iannucci cleverly named Will Power many Moons ago once was my second favourite IndyCar driver...

Cheers,
Tomaso
