Anthony's Bio
I was born in San Fran CA in 1964 and moved to England in the early 70,s. I became a F1 fan in 1975 watching Niki Lauda in the 312T become World Champion. Then in 1976 watched in horror as he wrecked his T2 in Germany. That was a championship race to watch in 1976. Since 1976 I have been a lifelong F1 fan.
I came back to the US in the early 80's and really had a hard time finding any news coverage of F1 outside of ABC Wide World of Sports Monaco coverage. Still I hung on and God bless the NASCAR channel ,I mean the SPEED Channel, for picking up some of the F1 coverage.
I couldn't handle watching NASCRAP after Earnhardt Sr. was killed. It seems that NASCAR is full of corporate pretty boys now and is just unbearable to watch.
I am married 17 years now with 4 girls and a wife that realise every other weekend I keep strange hours logging into the F1 live timing if no "live coverage is available" to get my fix of F1. I would have to say sitting at my PC with a Ferrari flag on the wall in front of me and a blood red ASUS PC case with a Ferrari badge on it that I am a Tifosi of Scuderia Ferrari.

I am still in shock since this morning i haven't even starting to write about it. Can you imagine the most powerful country in the world has voted a black man into power / True democracy at last

Yes, we're on for the first week after the season ends.
We'll be publishing a preamble and 4-5 biographies of post-war/pre-F1 luminaries that got the racing ball rolling. 4-5 bios there.
The next week or sooner there will be a 5-10 inductee ballot followed by the winners bios. The next ballot may be a mix of racers, tracks, chassis, designers, etc. just to keep it interesting and mix it up a bit.
(I have the 312 series chassis on the list so you may want to nab that early as it will be popular.)
I would imagine that Lauda will be a first or second ballot inductee but the timing may be mid to late November.
You have time.
(Apologize to the kiddies for me.)
