It was bound to happen at some point. Tghe Pit Window will be staying home for the next few weeks. Impending surgery on August 10 has made me decide to lay low to avoid the risk of exposure until then. While I will still cover Iowa and Nashville remotely, coverage of the GP at IMS may be delayed,
Without going into detail, the surgery is particular to older men, and the recover period is not long.I plan to return trackside at gateway and the final two rounds on the West Coast.
I will be at IMS next weekend for the IMSA test, since no extensive travel is involved and there won’t be a crowd.
While I really hate to miss Iowa, my favorite non Indy oval in the series. I will cheer myself up on Friday by going to a movie about nuclear weapons.
Hey, Mike – taking care of yourself must come first! My thoughts and prayers will be with you – no surgery is minor when it’s yours. I’m sure you’ll miss being at the track, and we’ll miss the extra insight you offer from actually being there, but sounds like you’ll be back in track soon. Stay safe and stay well.

I hope all goes well with the surgery. We will miss you at Nashville and the Brickyard weekend; but hope to see you at Gateway. Take care of yourself. That’s what’s important.
