and you would be wrong. It’s still surprisingly a very cool wonder to watch these cars on the streets where l live. To watch them live. To see the speed in person. So :-) [Reply]
cooper barrett - Dude, I never said she won the pole at Indy. WTF I was just stating that she won the pole at Daytona. I'm not a Danica fan. Chill out. [Reply]

It made the field have more parity. You got 3 wide racing on the track this year. No one remembers that ever happening in the 15 years of the race. Everyone here that follow Indy close are saying it’s going to make for better racing.
Many of those wrecks were NOT caused by the cars, when you jam a car in a tough corner downdraft has little to do with it. In many cases excessive power overcame traction and drivers of all brackets lost there cars.
I call the new setups are great and I call that better racing, making it more driver vs the $$$$ spent in development by the big teams [Reply]

Cool. Sounds like you had a good time. I'll be going to Long Beach, Phoenix, the GP at Indy, and the "500". I've been a long time fan. Lloyd Ruby and Mike Mosley were my favorite drivers growing up. [Reply]

even if you can’t understand a love of cars or racing, I’d recommend everyone go to one of these races at least once in their lives. It’s an amazing experience live. [Reply]

My bad I was doing other things.

Enough Danica
When Rodgers gets her some bolt on's I want to see the pics, other than that, until June I will try to be civil. [Reply]
What do you think of the new F1 HALO head protection for 2018? UGLY as hell? One of the Mercedes guys said if he had a chainsaw he would cut it off! Alonso says it shouldn't be questioned if it makes the drivers safer. First F1 race this weekend! [Reply]

I have not heard that drivers can't see. Function over form IMO. Plus there a 3 more spaces for sponsors on the car.

I would have saved Dan Weldon.
Yea! More spaces for sponsors! Have you been to a F1 race weekend in the last few years? The cars sound is horrible if compared to the old F1 sound, no more refueling thus eliminating more strategy, small field of cars, twenty this year. With all the technology in F1 I can see in going autonomous and all electric by 2030. [Reply]
