Care to elaborate? Otherwise my first answer is going to be Marlboro or Camels.

I called (317)492-8500 to complain. They weren't aware of the change yet in the ticket office.

If thay want to add drama to qualifying do what ever it takes to get more than 33 or 34 cars entered for the race.

Well, first of all they put the Indy Car Grand Prix road coarse race on the second Saturday of the month. If I read the article correctly this morning, they have now bumped the qualifying to a single weekend which they are going to qualify on Saturday and do the fast nine on Sunday?(I think) If that is what they are planning, I wonder exactly how they will proceed if they get rain that weekend and have a wash out?
Apparently this is the idea from Mark Miles the CEO of Hulman & Co which owns IMS. It would be interesting to see if they have even consulted with any drivers or team owners to get their imput into all of this.

I don't care what they are smoking. Just thankful my health is good so I can attend what ever they do. Just remember its still the greatest race and track in the world. Because of the 500 we have many many other open wheel races in Indiana during the month of May.

Of course, I'd love to see 50 cars qualifying for 33 spots and a true Bump Day once again. That would involve a lot of changes to open up the rules, cheaper equipment, etc. I hope we can get back to that point again, but I don't know when that's going to happen, unfortunately. |
