Exactly. Short of having multiple chassis, engine, and tire manufacturers, option tires and P2P can accentuate some differences among the near-spec cars...if done right.

Standing starts just make...

First, I agree that form should follow function, but I just find it unlikely that the Indy Dallara is a strong example of that philosophy. That being said, they should at least make it look good.

Upstate NY (Binghamton).

Just because a channel is available to a trillion people, doesn't mean that 50 of them are watching.

Totally crazy idea, but what if Ferrari said to TG, "we'll give our 2008 car design to any chassis manufacturers you want, and they can mass produce it for a 3-year run beginning in 2010."? Aside...

FWIW, everything from the '70's (clothes, haircuts, cars, etc.) looks funny now. But the current Dallara looks funny at a time when it should be "in style".

Also, minus a few silly fins, I think...

I have Time Warner Cable, and have Versus. HD is split with the Golf Channel.

Anyway, I don't think there's a positive spin to this at all. Too bad.

Can anyone support and clarify the circumstances of this claim? Is there proof that most of the equipment run by the CC teams is either damaged or inferior in quality? Did IRL teams get any...

I love Tracy's attitude, but he's not getting any younger. He needs to take advantage of any opportunity that arises.

Also, I think it's great to keep Walker involved in the series. I hope he...

First 2/3 of the race went well, then it kinda fell apart after that.

It always seems like the CC drivers or teams always start to have car problems or bad luck as the race goes on (Wilson,...

Yeah, I was just joking about the Mario thing.

I was at the Glen. I did see a tire get away, and originally thought it came off of her car. However, there was a replay on the "big screen", and...

If Mario spins in the pits, and Danica spins in the pits, Danica must be as good as Mario...?

Good point.

I'm going up Sunday...free ticket (my brother-in-law works for ESPN) and I live a little over an hour away. I think I've got an old Champcar hat to wear.

I'm not saying short ovals have no redeeming qualities, but I could do without them.

I think large ovals (2+ mi.) are comparable to natural roadcourses, and short ovals are comparable to street...

Poorly attended roadcourse races are not just an indicator of the public's lack of interest in roadracing, but just as much are an indicator of the public's lack of interest in the series (it's...

Mercedes would be nice, as would Porsche or Ferrari. Aside from those, Nissan, Toyota and Subaru would be reasonable. Supposedly, Hyundai wanted to get into racing a few years back. Should we...

I think that's a surprisingly low number of "interested" manufacturers. Only 6 car companies (including the one currently involved) want to hear about what the future of Indycar is. That being...

It supports an oval racing agenda for someone.

Logic and reason will get you nowhere with the clown leading this circus.

Hmmm. Not the usual response when you hear that someone, especially someone who's so respected in the racing community, may have cancer.

Ok, I'll be the first to admit that I have no clue what openwheel racing was like in the 1930's. Nor do I care. Nor should TG care. You can't expect a 75-year-old model to translate into success...

You finally hit the nail on the ****ing head. The reason TG and the IRL outlasted CART/CC is because of Indy. It's not because of 80% ovals. It's because of one oval, that's history and allure...

I didn't say the answer is corn. I'm just saying that eventually, the answer won't be petroleum. Eventually, if we don't make changes now, we won't care what it costs (monetarily) to produce...

It may cost much more money, but at least we'll have a planet to live on. Anyway, off topic...

No, I don't expect a huge change so quickly. But I hope the TG and the powers-that-be can step back, and see that the off-track drama (with the current formula and philosophy) is very bland. TG has...
