The Fitzgerald, approximately 35 miles north of Copper Harbor, MI, makes its last routine weather report, indicating 35-knot winds and 10-foot waves. No sign of immediate distress yet, but Captain McSorley reports a delayed arrival due to the worsening weather conditions.

Starting tonight at 1 AM, we’ll be sharing the real radio transmissions from the night the SS Edmund Fitzgerald was lost on Lake Superior, 50 years ago.
These posts will follow the timeline as it happened, from the first reports of rough seas to the ship’s final transmission.
We share them in remembrance of the 29 men who were lost, and in respect for all who work the Great Lakes.

Proof that schedule discourse has been happening as long as motorsports have been around and also no motorsport discourse is new (from Washington Post, 1927):

If anyone has ever played the safety position at a higher level than Ronnie Lott, I sure as hell never saw it.

Wing Wednesday - Qualifying for the 1976 Indy 500 wasn’t easy for Jan Opperman. He had qualified an older Eagle on bump day, but was bumped out in a hurry.
Dick Routh offered Opp a chance to try his older VPJ Eagle. Several drivers had tried to find speed in it, but couldn’t.
Jan ran a few laps, told mechanics what it was doing, and they went to work. After some shock work, engine tuning, & new tires, they put it in qualifying line. Opp got the job done, qualifying P33. 🏁

Today, we remember the nearly 3,000 lives lost on September 11, 2001, and honor the first responders who ran toward danger to help others.
We remember the courage, sacrifice, and resilience of those who were there that day, and the families and loved ones who continue to carry their memory.
Never Forget.
