Friendliest and Amiable Persons I've Met! Hangin' Out in the IMS Flagroom,
circa 2012, before the Speedway Closed it to the public. (The Tomaso
Collection)

Or is it as Unlucky as Racing Cars running thou
Shade 'O Green? As how'd that Double Negative turn outs for Yuhs Danica?
Today marks the 13th Anniversary of this
"Award Winning" Blogsite No Fenders Born-on Date, or as thou late
Esteemed Awntie' Harriet Christened it, Thy No Fenders BLOB! Which began
Wayback with the Debutante No Fenders post revolvin' around Christian Klien,
remember him?
And Speaking 'O Revolving, Revolver? Here's a 'lil
Ditty I Stole from The Beatles, as sing It 'Ol Paul, Ah-One and Ah-Two...
I'm Fixing A Flat Tyre...
And Wonderin' where the Air's
leaking Out from, to Stop My Mind Ah-wanderin'
Although It Really Doesn't
Matter where the Hot Air goes...
Just wish the Freakin' light would make up its
Bloody Mind on whether or not to be Bright, Dark, Hazy, in-between, Drizzlin', Hailing,
ah-thunderin' or whatever else Mother Nature can throw at Mwah here upon thou
Isle 'O Nofendersville; CRIKEYS!
As it's been another Wacky Year since moving South
to Thy new bungalow-by-The-Sea, where thoust Winds are always Ah-Blowin'
Mateys!

For those of Yuhs Hard Core Racing Afficandos;
Err Aficionados, perhaps Y'all are way ahead of Mwah? Knowing of the latest Magically
Delicious Lucky Charms Triumberant 'O Racing Drivers to carry Thee Number 13 on
Thar vehicles?
As the names of Zachery Claman DeMelo, Pastor
Maldonado and Queen Dan-Dan-Danica Patrick sprang to thoust Cranium...
Although I believe that Queen Danicker's now
busy Hosting Award Shows. Oh Shit! That's right, I forgot she's become one of
NBC's (Nothing But Commercials) Indianapolis 500 Expert Analysts; BARF!
Whilst 'Ol Walldanado' or Crashtor', take
your pick, B-A-M! Err Pastor's now become a fairly decent Sports Car racer,
albeit in the FIA's World Endurance Championship's lower tier LMP2 category.
And Sorry Zach', but You'll always be Zachary
Claman DeMelo to Mwah. Although I can sorta guess
why you shortened your name this year. Especially since Gory Speelchequor'
always wants to change it to Demerol; YIKES!
Who's apparently Ski-Dattled' back to Montreal, or
as 'Ol Awntie' Harriet would correct me, Mont royal! Apparently to continue selling
shoes under his ZCD Brand? Since he left this year's Indy Lights campaign after
the Indy GP weekend.
Alas, A la last
year's riveting No Fenders B-Day shout Out! I simply cannot end the string on
thou Number 13, and instead will attempt Humourin' Y'all for at least another Season,
in honour of TK' Follow-your-Schnoz! Kanaan and 'Ol SuperTex', since Bloody Hell!
My No Fenders Blog Traffic's sufferin' a similar fate in conjunction with A.J.
Foyt Enterprise's Dismal 2019 IndyCar campaign...

And it Hit Me like A Two Ton Heavy Thing!
Wherevers' Yuhs Are Geoffrey Tate; Hya! As I'll always be a Warshintonion' at
Heart, Me Thinks, even after getting Priced Out of My Home State! Since I
haven't Done any Headbangin', except upon Thy Keyboard in a long, long time!
Although suppose I sorta Sealed the Dealio
last Fall when electing to forego attending IndyCar's return to Portland, Eh?
Whilst realizing when watching; Err listening
to this year's Grand Prix of Portland; Hmm, still No Title Sponsor? That this
year represents the first time since attending my inaugural IndyCar race at
Portland Wayback in 1987; YOWSA! That it's the first time in 32yrs I haven't
attended a single Car race!
Not to mention, albeit it doesn't happen
nearly enough, especially now that I live just a quick Hop from thou Gory
Pacific Ocean. That I'd rather be walking on the Beach than Stumblin' round a
racetrack; But I Digress...

Ye Blogging Tribulations...
Even though loading my Gynormous No Fenders
Posts become more 'N more labour intensive when I can S-E-E what I'm Uploading on the Bloody
Confuzer' Screen these Dazes! Especially with the lighting, or is It Thy
Eyeballs? Uhm, Horrendous Glare, Darkness, constantly Shifting light due to the
continuously moving trees Shading thou Windows; URGH!
I do still enjoy poondin' out my riveting No
Fenders tales for Y'all on a weekly basis. Just not the constant Struggle to

amazing 4,000-plus posts here upon No Fenders a Gory 13 years later!
And like Indy Cars OLD-est Blogger Geo.

out and continue doing this Blogging Gig...
Especially now when My ever decreasing typing
speed, combined with my continuously faltering eyesight makes Blogging more 'N
more challenging each year even before thou Internetz', Blogger.com or Lucy',
my ARSE-Steamed Screen Reader AIN'T acting up or Blowin' Ah-gasket; SHEISA!
Thus per Tipicali, 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.

by Kuhnaidiun' lass Claire and Blogmeister' Miguel! Along with contributions
from Offical' Photographer CARPETS', Snowbyrd MJ', Randal, Thy Moniker King'
