I agree that the penalty is another example of how the rulebook needs to be altered and clarified, and the man interpreting the rules either should be replaced or smacked upside the head.

I enjoy...

Was a race like Iowa really worse than this race today, IYO?

At least Iowa had plenty of passing. I think Rahal's pass on Tag was the first of the day today.

Was Iowa really a worse race than this today?

Was just listening to the Colts pregame and heard this... born to AJ IV and Casey Irsay (daughter of Jim Irsay, Colts Owner). will we ever see another (competitive) Foyt on the grid?

If Paul Tracy was driving for Andretti, he would be showing everyone exactly what can be done with the combination of a semi-decent ride and talent. Patrick (semi-decent ride and no talent) would be...

I'm loving this. Awesome racing. I can't believe IndyCar is leaving this place. Damn shame to say the least.

C'mon Marco or Wheldon!! Knock off the Elites!

Very true. I suppose every sport needs it's soap operas. I just wish we were talking about something along the lines of AJ slapping Arie in the face instead of this kind of soap opera.

This thread is pathetic.

Just watched the 1992 Mid-Ohio race.

So many cool things about this video. The quality is great - the onboard camera shots really show how much raw power those cars had - if you listen closely,...

A small article in the Star this morning mentioned that Andy Bernard is expecting "around 5" different manufacturers to participate in the aero package deal.

Since he took the reigns, Bernard has...

I think it would be neat to see individual teams come up with cool little aerodynamic tricks here & there. Say Andretti Autosport comes up with a new nosecone design or a new tail fin or something...

I wonder how the other manufacturers feel about this. According to Miller, Swift and Lola wanted sole exclusivity for the series, which went against the whole mantra of diversity and competition. ...

Nice to hear that Dallara is manufacturing these cars in Speedway, Indiana.

Since no other manufacturers were announced to produce the add-on parts, I'm assuming that there have not been any...

Boring oval? At least there was passing, wheel to wheel racing (not as often as I would prefer, obviously), and the occasional 3 wide, not to mention some crashes (don't like them, but it adds to...

A quote from Curt Cavin's article today in The Indianapolis Star:

"Dixon said the IRL officials have 'gone too far' with aerodynamic restrictions intended to level the playing field among the...

History lesson: This has happened before. In recent memory:

1992 - A guy named Scott Goodyear drove for a guy named Derrick Walker. The team put driver Mike Groff in a backup car, who qualified...

Dave Calabro: "...aaaand, hhheeere they come. Wwwatch 'em work, watch 'em work."

http://indycar.neulion.com/indy/console.jsp NOTE: CLICK ON VINTAGE RACES TO THE LEFT, THEN 1996 INDY 500 POLE DAY ON THE RIGHT

Found this on the Indycar website - a near full recount of Pole Day...

We have to remember that the 500 will be on ABC. Does that mean we get Marty Reid and Scott Goodyear again, or do we keep the same lineup as on Vs? Does anyone have any info on this?

Based on Kansas results and what he's said about his INDY Indycar... I figure its not that big of a long shot...

a few opening Questions:

which IRL regular is most likely to get bumped?
Stanton Barrett

which IRL regular will be the slowest to actually make the field?
May is full of surprises so its hard...

Jon Beekhuis's segments are great - reminds me of his "Ford Facts" pieces from back in the mid 90s, really interesting bits of information that for some reason we never saw in the last 2 or 3 yrs.
...

Yea that's a great finish. Love Zanardi's banzaii moves that always seemed to work out for him.

You get stuck in these cars, especially on road courses. You gain or lose positions on pitstops, it doesn't matter really what team you drive for now (unless your Carpenter or Barrett, sorry guys)...
