The only link short trackers have is Davey, Ed, Davey and John A. John got help from King Richard, Davey is a great champion, Ed is a good driver but it helps to be a stepson and Sarah is there because she refuses to quit. I never wanted Indy to be 33 short trackers but I certainly didn't want close to 29 road course specialists either. When I look at road course specialist that deserve a shot my thinking turns to drivers like Clark, Fitipaldi, Donohue and Hulme. Today they get these RC specialist wannabees that have very little name recognition. I still don't know who Matos is and the only reason I know Mario Morious(sp) is that he's the guy that screw up 1/4 lap into the race. And it is showing with .35 TV ratings. Something needed to be done. I don't know whether this is the right move or not but the Beatle song keeps playing in my head; the one that goes "I admit it's getting better, a little better all the time (it can't get much worse)."
