Brian Barnhart: "By the time she enters her first race event and races, she'll have thousands of miles under her belt. It's not like she announced today that she'll be racing next week in St. Pete. I think they have five scheduled test sessions. We'll do plenty of testing on track with her including start and restart practice and pit stop practice. We'll even consider putting other cars out there with her to replicate traffic and give her an opportunity to get accustomed to running in dirty air. By the time she enters her first event, she'll have plenty of experience in terms of testing experience under the belt."
Looks like special treatment to me. But also maybe all this tesing will allay you guys' fears.
Personally, I don't think she'll be out there making constant dumb mistakes. She'll just run her pace, and we'll see where that is. She has plent of experience being passed by the faster P1 cars in ALMS.
Joke of the day: TG is apparently allying the IRL with Citgo because he is tired of his series being labeled as bush league. Hugo Chavez has assured him they will now be anti-Bush league...

Nice full page ad in the USA Today. Sponsored by CITGO of course. Hugo is going after the testosterone of the nation.
CITGO is one IndyCar sponsor I will NEVER patronize. I try very hard to do my business and send business to all the IndyCar sponsors, but CITGO, you are S.O.L. for this IndyCar fan. I'm glad 7-11 is in the process of ejecting the CITGO brand from their gas stations.
Will she get Rookie of the Year by default ???HOO HOO HOO HOOSIERS !

" Hopefully, Dunno will scare herself so badly in her first test at Texas that she'll come to her senses, realize she's out of her depth and give the car to Carpentier." Robin Miller
I love Robin Miller !!! That's the only good thing I can see coming out of this is that Patrick Carpentier gets back in the league.
Otherwise Milka should be in IPS. But as this weekend's past accidents demonstrate, IPS is no walk in the park either. Please don't kill anyone Milka. I wish you well. But please don't.HOO HOO HOO HOOSIERS !

I really like the fact that she put education before racing, and the fact that she is racing at mid-life age - but I don't think she should be racing an IRL car on high speed ovals simply for the exposure she can bring. I think she should have done IPS first, gained experience and seat time and by same cut the level of risk presented to herself and to others.
She could have brought that same exposure more safely in IPS.
This is a real turn off to me for the series letting inexperience race close in those cars at those speeds.We\'ve got loud guitars and big suspicions, great big guns and small ambitions, and we still argue over who is God. Hey there miscreation, bring a flower time is wasting. It\'s hard to make a stand. /Sheryl Crow

Could be some real negative press coming the IRL's way if this ends up badly. Milka is not qualified to be racing in the IRL.
Racing season is soon upon us!:smokin:
