During a conversation with our esteemed League Leader last night we chanced upon a little game that you can all play along with at home.
It is very simple, take the name or part of the name from any of this year's Indy Car venues and last season's ChampCar venues. Then combine any bits of them you want to create as many new characters as you can. They all have to have a biography of some sort to go with them:
I will start with Tremblant Cleveland, the magician of now the defuct ABA. A man who inspired 'Doctor J' to literally new heights. He, along with many in the ABA, was known for the inverse proportions of his shorts and fro/beard combination.
Doug Werner has written to add that Glen Long, is shown opposite Tremblant Cleveland (below) just before his career was cut short when he poked himself in the eye with his elbow while trying to draw a charge on diminutive dribbling legend Fontana Burkefront.

Michael Rennick has reminded us of that tremendous 'specialist' film star, Laguna Paradise. She started her career as an exotic dancer in Montreal. She then moved into films where she frequently co-stared with Tracy Bourdais. The most notorious of these films, “Chrome Horn”, earned them a Bridgestone Passion for Excellence Award.
Jim Casey clearly has his finger on the pulse of the nations favourite pastime. He has contacted the blog with this Major League Baseball update -
The Washington Nationals expect to compete for the NL East title this season with their revamped pitching rotation. Coming out of nowhere is Edmonton Kansas, featuring a 105 mph fastball, kneebuckling curve, and savage splitfinger. Joining him is Long Beach Motegi, Japanese Gyroball expert, whose father named him after the nearest city to his WW II internment camp for some reason. Following them is spoiled rich boy Watkins Van Couver, whose parents hired Nolan Ryan to be his high school coach. Filling out the rotation are knuckleballer Houston Infineon, and spitballer Sebastian Panoz.
