Bryan Herta

Bryan John Herta (born May 23, 1970, in Warren, Michigan) is an American race car driver. He currently runs his own team, Bryan Herta Autosport in the Verizon IndyCar Series. His team won the 2011 Indianapolis 500 with driver Dan Wheldon.

Racing career

CART/Champ Cars/IndyCars

Herta enjoyed considerable success in the lower formulae, winning the Barber Formula Ford and Barber Saab Pro Series, and dominating the 1993 Indy Lights championship with Tasman Motorsports.

He graduated to IndyCar racing in 1994 with team owner A. J. Foyt, where he had several promising races before suffering a season-ending injury at Toronto.

In 1995, Herta was hired to drive for Chip Ganassi Racing. Despite a pole at Phoenix, the association was unsuccessful, with Herta managing only a 20th place in the series standings while his teammate Jimmy Vasser finished 8th. Even so, Herta landed a top ride with Team Rahal for the 1996 season.

During the next few years, Herta developed a reputation for his prowess on road courses, especially at Laguna Seca Raceway. In 1996, he was the leader until the last lap, when Alex Zanardi made the spectacular pass through the "Corkscrew" chicane and took the victory. Herta, who rarely qualified below the first row at Laguna Seca, finally won two events on the twisty road course in 1998 and 1999. At the height of Herta's career, fan interest in the Shell-sponsored driver was dubbed by team owner David Letterman as "Hertamania."

Vintage Warlords

by: Barren Earth

Ghosts from the past
Two of them in flesh
Sailed across the seas
The ultimate invasion
Cause of deprecation
Storming the fields
Of a hostile kingdom
And absurdity
In the minds of the deranged
Are the laws of holiness
To be re-arranged
Morbid messenger of god
In sonic warfare
Sets the rites of immortal
And a burden to bear
Restless souls preventing sleep
Craved by the tired eyes
Forgotten ones
Of the lost decade
About to lose another one
Forgotten ones
Of the lost decade
About to lose another one
And all shall decay
For the unholy grail
Roaming fifty leagues a day
Bless the corpses of the past
Who rose upon the dawn
In the minds of the deranged
Are the laws of holiness
To be re-arranged
Morbid messenger of god
In sonic warfare
Sets the rites of immortal
And a burden to bear
