What get's me is how many folks complain... if you don't like it, why do you watch? And if its such a lousy field of competitors, why don't you turn off the TV or cahnge the channel and watch some old movie? The drivers in the field were set over a week ago, so its not like that the field was s surprise.

And IRL doesn't really want three abreast at the starting line. on the original start, due to the danger involved, to both the drivers' and the fans....

Vitor Meara's plunge into the wall would have killed a driver ten years ago; so while he has a couple of cracked vertebra, he's alive. Now, how is that? We can always slow the cars doen to 175mph and resort to old technology; would you watch then?
