Formula 1 at Watkins Glen during "The Circus Era" (James Miller)

Dr. James Miller has a longtime interest in media technology, and this led him to the historical study of the automobile as an under-appreciated site of media consumption. From there, the highly digitalized modern race car presented itself as a possible precursor of future mobility. This was also an excuse to intellectualize the pleasure of motorsports, which has resulted in a connection with the IMRRC and membership in the International Motor Press Association. Miller is professor emeritus of communications at Hampshire College, a former member of the graduate faculty at UMass Amherst and a member of the Porsche Club of America.
Formula One raced at Watkins Glen for 20 years, 1961-1980. This was a still early time in post-war F1, when nearly everything was smaller scale, sponsorship was just beginning, a DIY ethos ruled the paddock and US media attention was limited. Yet these 20 years mark a crucial midway point between the Glen’s original road racing and the modern, corporatized F1 that has now developed into a global media spectacle. To mark 75 years of Watkins Glen motorsports, this presentation offers a sketch of this distinctive time and place, with emphasis on the local community engagement that made those glorious 20 years of F1 possible.

A journey into The Autoverse (Paul Ragsdale)

There comes a point in every enthusiast's life, where they ask themselves, Am I alone in this? Does anyone even care about all these cars? Why do I care so much about cars? I really wish there was someone I could share all this with… 
It’s a dilemma that so many of us face. And our guest is no exception, he’s been a lifelong petrol-head, and always felt like he was the only person in his circles that took an interest in motorsports or cars.

Evening With A Legend: Lyn St. James

Tonight, we have an opportunity to bring a piece of Le Mans to you, sharing in the Legend of Le Mans with guests from different eras of over 100 years of racing. 
Lyn St. James’ illustrious career has distinguished her as one of the most successful female racecar drivers in history. She would take home titles in races like the 12 hours of Sebring, 24 hours of Rolex and 24 hours of the Nurburgring. And during that time she would attempt the 24H of LeMans twice and a pivotal time in its history. Later, in 1992, the mold wasn't just broken… It was shattered, and at the age of 45, proving that neither gender nor age matter in Motorsports - she entered the Indianapolis 500, earning the title rookie of the year. And she’s here with us tonight, to share her Le Mans journey with you!

What Should I Buy? - For Teens & First Time Drivers!

Dear Abby: “my daughter Stacy is looking for her first car and has her heart set on a VW bug. Any suggestions?”
It’s not uncommon for us to receive an email or text like this one from friends or co-workers. As fathers of future petrol-heads, we couldn’t resist getting the band back together for yet another What Should I Buy debate. 
Mind you, these messages are sometimes never more detailed than what you heard, but it’s enough to start the conversation. - And like all What Should I Buy (WSIB) episodes… we have some shopping criteria, so the next logical questions are obviously: how old?, how many miles? and what’s your budget?
Tonight we’re bringing together some of the “OG” What Should I Buy crew: Mountain Man Dan, (and) Rob Luhrs, and Mike “Story Time” Crutchfield for this episode, but it wouldn’t be a What Should I Buy? without our panelists William “Big Money” Ross, Mark “The Data Cruncher” Shank, and Don Weberg from Garage Style Magazine. 
And in this episode our panel of extraordinary petrol-heads are challenged to find our “first time driver” something that will make their friends go “YOU DROVE THAT AT 16?”

Superstitions & Bizarre Events in Motorsports

Superstitions, both good and evil, common and rare, affect all classes of people and their place in life and have been passed along generation after generation. Auto racing, from its very beginning, is not immune from superstitions - many of which can be described as bizarre and are present in today’s auto racing world.
Al Isselhard is a retired mechanical designer of test equipment for Eastman Kodak Co. and has enjoyed the automobile world in several capacities. He is a big super-modified race fan, collector of tired British sports cars, serious but non-professional race photographer, past crew member on a SCCA race team, race memorabilia and petrolania collector, retired road rallyist and a supporter of the IMRRC.
