Dr. Bashioum’s Friday Photo: Racing at Road America
August 18th, 2012
I really enjoy posting my random Friday Photos! Lindsay and I joined Peter Kitchak (my winery buddy) again at Road America Raceway in Elkhart Lake, Wisconsin. Racing vintage cars is not for the timid. Peter was favored to win the featured race of the weekend and had the fastest lap times going into the finals. Winning wasn’t meant to be this year, but despite a mechanical failure to his Lola T70 and with a substantial lead he came in 3rd. It was great fun to be in the pits with RM Motorsports again.
Here we are with Peter’s Lola. Photo courtesy of Leah at RM Motorsports.
Dr. Bashioum’s Friday Photo: A Friend in Tuscany

Tom Oslund sent me this photo last week, while he was traveling in Italy with his son. Tom is founding partner of Oslund and Associates, one of the leading design landscape architects in the country. He is perhaps best known locally for his outstanding design of Target Plaza at the Twins stadium. He most recently was tapped to design the new Peavey Plaza project in downtown Minneapolis, which is in the works now to coincide with the remodel of Orchestra Hall.
