Add me to the list of (long time) Indy fans who hates this rediculous rule.

1. It's false drama, not real drama. There is real drama for the pole position.

2. It hurts the race...especially...

I think for the next few years cost will still be a major factor in the specifications of a car. Part of the beauty of the DP01 was, overall, it was cheaper to run (and fix!) than the previous Lola...

Agreed. Building in steps here. Use the 2.65 turbo motors, a standard ECU will allow different hp for different tracks (850 at road coarses, 650 at ovals?), start rebuilding excitement in the...

+1. Maybe not the greatest ever, but the cheers this year will be louder than any in recent history. How cool will that be? :)

How 'bout Mazda badging the Cosworth motors? Honda would like it (they like competition) and it could be the beginning (continuation?) of Mazda's involvement in high level racing.

Just a...

This article ( http://sports.espn.go.com/rpm/columns/story?seriesId=2&columnist=blount_terry&id=3013994 ) seems to imply that it's more about safety than money.

"But one reason stands far above...

I would have guessed Arute slipped somebody a hundred bucks to do the presentation rather than Barnhart dissing anybody...

1, 2, 8, 11, 20 - YES!!!

3, 4, 7, 9, 12, - Yes!

14 - NO!

6, 13 - Interesting, I like the idea of the equivelent (?sp) of those drivers 10 years from now.

And just for emphasis...

I don't know, I can see the IRL on the road course. With the degredation of the I500, it might be worth bringing them back to the road course as the last race of the season. This would certainly...

I say the two open wheel series should merge, dump ALL of the current chassis and come up with a new, wingless (yes, I said wingless) chassis that puts the empatis on driver skill, not aerodynamics....

ESPN Classic at 4:00 on the 31st. (If I remember correctly)

Nice. And true.

OK, just found the Autoweek article on line...not the same.

Is this the same as on the IndyStar website? They had a point system...10 pts for a winner, 6 for second place...etc. Also score 5pts for poles. Kinda hard to argue with a point system...

..did I spell Carnigie right? (..Carnegie?)

Nabors...Carnigie...the times...they are a changin...

+1. Unsubscribing...

Always liked and respected her. She has a terrific spirit for being the "most popular driver" and then being left out in the cold for a few years. Imagine where she'd be if a decent team had...

"First, there was Sara Fisher..."

Wow, take a little time to do a research, eh?

Champ Car (CART) ran a number of races in Fontana. Fontana is where Greg Moore was killed in the season finale. (I forget the year...2000 maybe?)

Careful IC, you're sorta proving everybody else's point here. The one constant entity in all of those "conversations" is Tony George. If all of these men couldn't get a merger/unified series...

So why does every network feel they have to apologize when one of the contestants says a "bad word"?!? To me, that's more embarrasing than the actual thing being said. Just move on people...

I would guess, since there are few road courses, nobody would suffer the chassis on ovals just to have a good road course chassis.

I have a question...if there's a "deadline for entry", how can those famous "last minute deals" be done? (Remember when that was such a cool thing about Indy? ..when "deals" were done in the last...
