I was at that Joe James/Pat O'Connor race. The bashing of Sebastian Bourdais by the track announcer pissed me off to know end. For some reason he tossed out Bourdais name, must have forgot this guy had a HUGE crash while qualifying at Indianapolis. A "See Jesus" moment and yet he was back in a car in a super short time. You want to call someone out for being a piker fine, but it ain't Bourdais.

Why in the world someone would run for such low bucks is beyond Me. Being around racing long enough I know they would race for ham sandwiches if need be.
& Sebas is like the only guy to win FOUR Indycar type champs in a row (CART tho, & they didn't race at Indy then; but he did once during that span and no one can dispute how badaz those CART cars woulda been to drive...)...he bested Ted Horn's three in a row (AJ and none of them ever did it even...)
