Sacramento, California – It’s Thanksgiving weekend.  And you know what that means.

Yes, too much turkey, leftovers galore and preparation to absolutely blow the household budget on Christmas presents.

And it’s the end of the auto racing season.

That last part is cause for despair among those of us who closely follow rapidly rolling wheels around the world.

The last of the major series players will wrap up this weekend with Formula One’s Brazilian Grand Prix, with either Red Bull’s Sebastian Vettel or Ferrari’s Fernando pulling down a third world driving championship.  Savor this one, folks.  It’s a long dry spell until racing starts gathering speed again in January.

My annual auto racing wrap-up will be posted on this blog next week.  After that, updates on my latest test drives are on the holiday menu.

Hope your holidays are safe and happy.  Use caution on those long holiday drives and in those dicey shopping mall parking lots.
