L.J.'s Bio

*Contact me about your Formula 1 Hall of Fame election and biography assignments!*

I'm a Sho'man and a Community Leader of the B/R Auto Racing section.

Born in the Carolina Piedmont...Motorsports is my game, so drop me a line.

F1, NASCAR, IndyCar, ALMS, CTS, WRC, MotoGP, NNS, CWS or Karts...you name it.

I'm also a homer...all Orioles, all the time. I am maniacally objective...the Orioles suck.

Trivia: Drew Brees and I are the exact same size from head to toe. I'm proud of that.

I am also the wingman for the outcasts, the outrageous, the outlaws and the outspoken.

I'll fight for your right to write regardless of the circumstances, your chops or your poor judgment...right up to the moment of your deletion. That's me...under the bridge...bring it.

(I found a "Top Ten Sports Movies" piece on B/R...the original "The Bad News Bears" isn't on it...bring the torches.)

    Hey L.J. i've never actually drifted before with a RWD, let alone any other D because I just recently got my licence. I've done a bit of simulator Drifting and a bit of go-kart drifting but when it comes to actually taking a real car out and burning some rubber... never done.

    how is it?

    Hey LJ

    I just noticed you hadn't yet entered the second bleacher batracer season.

    The private game id is 32399 and the game password is "coulthard" Only 3 seats left now as I write this so you will need to be quick if you wish to take part.

    Also you haven't given me the list of available names to write about in the hall of fame.

    Thanks

    Hey LJ,

    Figured you where busy being a chef, that's good the catering's busy for you and good luck with College. Did you get to see the ARCA race, if not look on You Tube for the clip where Ricky Stenhouse, Jr. took out Speed and when Speed came back out to take Stenhouse out. Sad to see a Kid with Stenhouse's talent resort to such dirty driving with a Championship on the line and sad that he would do it and not think Speed would not take him out. Couldn't believe the way ARCA handled it, be interesting to see how it affects the series and Stenhouse career. I scraped my article about him for the next Joey Logano series and replaced him with my lastest one on J.R. Fitzpatrick.

    Thanks may have found a niche in F1, writing about the breaking news stuff and was on the fence with concentrating more on NASCAR series, start dabbling more in ARCA and CWES. But may just keep at it fitting them in on a slow week and getting ready to start on the NCTS history have a few articles bookmarked to use for info and will look for more info on-line. Planning to start after the season ends CTS has five races left and may break it up into a two or three parts.

    Take Care & Study Hard,

    Mike

    Looks like LJ has the Phever and the only thing that can cure his Phever is more Liberty Bell.

    Hey LJ,

    Going to try to get a Scott Speed community going for the fan club, talked with Mary Jo about it felt this was the way to do and give it more exposure. Left Zander, a note about doing it this way. He mentioned to me about creating a profile for him with Fan Club in name, use one of our e-mails to log in and a easy password for fans to log in write articles and leave messages on the BB. But feel that leaves it hidden, harder to maintain and log in. Think by making a community it will be easier, since he's such a quotable guy, very colorful and the opposite of NASCAR cookie cutter drivers. Could make it a great page, be alot of fun and with our own communities make it easier to keep up with it.

    Take Care,

    Mike
