Actually, we WERE there for hot laps. And yes, it was decent in hot laps. Too bad they used it up by running that extra practice session. But I think most folks know and accept that a Silver Crown race on a mile will never have the same quality of racing that we see on bullrings.

I know you wanted it to suck so you could tell everyone why but too bad for you, it didn't.[/QUOTE]

Sorry, but you could not be more wrong. I love the champ cars on the mile. I love that the race gets a little bit of mainstream credibility by being run during the State Fair. There's just an extra substance to a race that has a souvenier program with a form letter from the Governor. (in spite of how folks might feel about the office holder at the time.) And it's not every day you can see a butter cow after the race.
