Definitely looking forward to this, although this race will be different than it was the last 7 years.
Certainly one of my favorite street courses on the schedule, but there are not really tracks on the schedule which I dislike anyway. Who are having a chance to win here? I won't rule out Andretti Autosport, they seem to be coming back on the level they had in 2007.October 16th, 2011 - One of the blackest days in the history of motorsports.

It's gnawing at me that I couldn't get off work the 26th and 27th so I could attend the race. I"ll be a freaking hour away for over a week starting the 28th.
I'd be going with the usual suspects in a Penske car except they seem to be driving firecrackers in testing. Going out on a very short limb and saying a Chevy powered KV or Andretti car will finish 1st.HINCHTOWN!!

It's the opening round, so he will probably end upside down in turn 1 hehe. Well, you never know.... I think Marco Andretti is definitely having a chance.
What about Hunter-Reay or Castroneves? Both were very quick in the last practices. I'm a little bit concerned about Chip Ganassi Racing tough. Dario is a very nice person... And I won't be against it if he would become the champion again, but after a three in a row for him, I'm going to root a lil more for Scott Dixon this year at the Target squad.October 16th, 2011 - One of the blackest days in the history of motorsports.

Doubtless be the usual suspects, but will be keeping an eye on TK and Rubens, as I think that pairing is going to work very well indeed. Shall obviously be cheering on Taku as well, right up to the point he plants it in the fence. Finished second in an exhibition FNippon race over the weekend, so he's sort of warmed up already.

Gee, I wonder if it'll be a Penske 1-2 or a Penske 1-2-3!
