Dr. Terry Trammell is THE guy when it comes to safety innovation within IndyCar over the last several decades. A guy who somehow went from amateur photographer to one of Indianapolis’ leading spinal surgeons, Dr. Trammell’s specialty in orthopedics led him to one of the largest careers in motorsports’ medicine, balancing his career between full-time “day job” duties with Ortho Indy, and then traveling with IndyCar full-season to be an on-site doctor. He’s saved dozens of lives, and put hundreds of drivers “back together.” Dinner courtesy of The Boulder Creek Dining Company, music by Prada Gina and “Get Mines.” Thanks to Continental Tire for all of their support, and Acura for providing a great MDX.

WIIIIIIIICKEEEEEEEENNNNNNNSSSSSSSS!!! That is all. Another one of those all-star Canadians, young Robert Wickens went from a junior category driver in North America, to a junior category driver in Europe that won everything. Eventually he became a Mercedes factory driver in DTM before finally moving on to IndyCars this year, where he’s had one of the most standout rookie seasons in history. Recorded during the first week of practice at Indianapolis, lunch was served at the legendary Charlie Brown’s, just a few yards from the circuit. Closed with the music of Saturn ‘Till June, “Tiffany’s Curse.” Thanks to Continental Tire for all of their support, and Acura for providing a great MDX.

It’s not too often you hear about someone making it to F1 within five years of their first lap in a go-kart. Even less so when they start at 19. That’s Takuma Sato. One of the most entertaining drivers on the track, Takuma’s legendary fearlessness finally paid off last year, when he won the Indianapolis 500. Special in its own right, “Taku” also became the first Japanese driver to win the race, and first Asian driver to win at any of the top ranks in IndyCar. Hailing from Japan, his decade in the U.S. has led him to really appreciate some specific customs hear in the States, and his humor seems to go with him everywhere… which was awesome. We really enjoyed hanging out with this guy, a racer’s racer.
