Don't know what Haas had to do with the main grandstand - but it was seriously crumbling away for years. (Not to mention the smell near the old restrooms...) The bleachers had a similar problem. When...

They used to have hand stamps. They used to have turnstyles. Then they fenced off Grandstand Avenue a few years ago - which took something off the ambience. It became a sort of "dead zone." So this...

Anyone here from Chicago? With Chicagoland off the schedule, I'm wondering what marketing exposure there was down there.

I think that Hoop's "unscientific" note about the 2006 Champcar race may be part but not all of the story. What makes it look even worse though is that somebody thought they could make a buck off of...

How were pit assignments awarded for this race?

Sanity prevails - and the egomaniac goes back to whatever he does. I actually think that it came down to a safety issue. At those speeds - a sudden rush of wind could play havoc with that "come...

Regarding mastering ovals coming from a road racing background, there are certainly enough success and failure stories. Some of the extreme success has already been mentioned here with Nigel. He...

Trump is an idiot, blowhard, egomaniac - who now fancies himself an idiot, blowhard, politician. why on earth would the IRL want to salute the 100th anniversary with this sort of sideshow? Let it be...

Very puzzling stuff. Streaming is growing seemingly in all sports. I watched the whole NCAA tourney last year, the Masters, the World Cup, NBA games - all streaming. It's not ideal, but it's...

It's always easy to find a few things to criticize in the series, but this left me - speechless. And I'm still speechless! It is so disconnected and out in left field that I don't know what to say....

Wish I would have seen the type 38 at Indy. I did see Clark drive the type 29 to a dominant victory at the Mile in 1963. It was quite a thrill to say the least.

Thanks for bringing back some Lotus...

Sounds like a marketing gimmick - which could stand for desperation. I'm not convinced...

Fans along the roadside at Pikes Peak look like they're in harms way too. All of the off road events always look like they are tempting fate.
...

I agree 100%. The rule goes against what most who follow racing would find logical and reasonable. (And I can join you in the "50 year club.") It is more of an attempt to control an outcome. It also...

State politics - an inept, disinterested Fair Park Board - I don't give it much of a chance. The history of bungling here would scare off local investors. I think the board is waiting for the racing...

Now that Helio and I have calmed down - and I've read the opinions and listened to the racing shows - it appears that the problem is with the rule and not the call. Most people, after learning of the...

OK - a far fetched hypothetical. Danica and Simona are battling for the lead in the same situation - or either of them is leading Power. Does Barnhart make the same call? Would this sliver of a...

AJ would be slapping the living daylights out of them if it was his driver. Ha!

If the average fan doesn't get it - then eventually there won't be any average fans. When the rules become very technical and don't seem to equate with common sense observation in the minds of many...

Now we see that the IRL really wanted Vince McMahon to run the show after all. Last week's crashfest and this week's penalty debacle don't provide very good marketing vehicles for the series.

It seems like 90% at times. All Danica - all the time. She must be a true superstar if that's all that people can talk about...

I've only seen one race at Burke Lakefront in person and it was great stuff.

"They're going 7 wide into turn one." Ha!

Bring it back! Please!

All things considered, this sounds like a bad idea - especially for the series. Roger may be trying to help out Detroit - but this event won't make a big difference. In the regional "neighborhood,"...

Sheesh! This is such a non-story...

What's up with the weather? I'm seeing a washout Friday. (?) Looks like a lot of folks will be stuck with what they have - or a best guess...

It looks warmer for the weekend. How much will that...
