The only thing that made the Friday feature even remotely interesting was lapped traffic allowing some of the leaders close up. The only really significant passing on Saturday seemed to be on the double file restarts. I might be wrong but, I don't remember a pass for the lead under racing conditions after the start/restarts. The actual racing was disappointing at best. However, we did camp from Friday to Sunday with some friends and had a great time and.......after all, it was openwheel racing!!!! Over all, I'm glad I went.

Cecil, you're right - you must not have been watching the same race as everyone else. I just re-watched their highlight video - I see LOTS of passing. Short of a photo finish or last lap pass, I don't know how much more you could want.
