So hey, guess what - we're racing in Japan this week!
What does that mean? (A TV feed that looks like it's being shot through Vaseline? Sound that only sounds good if you wear a pair of water-filled headphones? Staying up until past midnight to see who wins?) It means that this week's Haiku Tuesday is actually appropriate to the IndyCar event's culture!
I mean, sure, we all know that Alabama is a secret hotbed of international culture and open-mindedness, but aside from that trying to get IndyCar cities and fans excited about an obscure form of poetry that is largely meaningless unless it's in the original Japanese is a bit difficult.
Thus, I am thrilled for this week's race at Motegi. Just don't try and get me to eat sushi. Poetry's one thing. Salmonella is another.
Hit the jump for the poetry...
Pack up the race cars!
Time to fly to Motegi.
Mutoh's home racetrack.
She won in '08.
Her team hopes that she drives like
Gundam Danica.
Cotman's RACER blog
Told us about the new rules
As if we mattered.
RB in Europe.
Says Ferrari likes V6.
GRE? Guess not.
Will Sato banzai?
The home crowd wants a good show.
Get crash cart ready.
Enjoy your sushi.
But next year on the schedule
We'll have beer and brats.
No more ISC.
Now we're in bed with Bruton.
Gross mental image.

Haikus. Made in Japan....like most other things
Moment of Silence
For the “Indy Racing League”
Tony’s grave mistake
IRL, ChampCar
Neither side claims victory
For they are both dead
The sole survivor
Of Open Wheel’s Civil
War? Of course….INDY
During the long “split”
Most of us were busy with
Something else….NASCAR
The first race of the
Post-IRL era? Damn….
It is Snore-tegi
Will the Racing Gods
Reward us here like they did
In 2008? (On the final day of the “split” 4/20/08….)
So, at what lap does
Sato go Godzilla on
His poor Dallara?
New night, new time for
Motegi this year. That means
I won’t be watching (Damn 3rd shift work)
NASCAR and F1
Stealing our pretty ladies?
Can’t they find their own?
(Maybe if Simona dressed in white “like all the other domestic appliances” she would get that F1 dream gig sooner from old man Bernie. Just a word of warning, Swiss Miss….)
