Let's see, we had a false start, and then a wreck on the first lap. Perhaps they should go single file with a cone on the front stretch.

I"m working, so I can't listen to the audio, but that scoreboard is pretty slick.

One reason for lousy starts is the minimal amount of racing so many of the drivers do in a year's time , I would think. It certainly is not a lineup of the best race car drivers in the world anymore.

It depends on how you describe "best race car drivers". These are the best at bringing a check with them. Indy will forever be a shell of what it once was.

I agree with you both. I just made a mention of that during the race. That the original purpose of the IRL or whatever it is called now has gone by the dino.

They may need to change the name from the greatest spectical in racing to I suck at driving a race car but I have a dump truck full of money.

What a bash in the nuts to all the open wheel drivers out there that used to put everything on the line to "win" that race.
