The Good:
Andretti Autosport now 2-2 this season and looks good going into Long Beach where they have had success before.
Tristan Vautier is the real deal. I was impressed from the first time I met him off the track but he has impressed even more on the track. People are comparing him to greats like Zanardi and Moore, and I think we have something special in the making.
DW12. That slow, unreliable beast, actually puts on quite a show, and happens to be fast and reliable. And is now smashing previous lap records….give the ugly girl some due!
AJ Almendinger in an Indycar. Before he reeled off a string of victories inChampcar, people forget he had been fired from RuSport. He belongs in Indycar, and it was good to have him back.
Barber Motorporst Park. What a great venue, great crowd, and awesome event! Everyone needs to put this race on the calendars.
Charlie Kimble. Showed why he is still at Ganassi, and Graham (see below) is not. A great weekend and what a pass!
The level of competition. It has never been harder to win in this series, and there are more former race winners (HCN, WP, SD, DF, AT, JH, MA, AA, GR, JW, EC, TK, ?) than at anytime I can remember. I think we couldhave more than eight race winners this year…
The Bad:
I still don’t know why we can’t get everyone lined up properly for a start and re-start. I’d sit these guys down and show them starts from the 80’s and early 90’s.
Panther Racing, DR and SFH have struggled early on, which is a bit of a mystery as they looked good in testing.
Some of the blocking was F’ing ridiculous, no matter if it was accident or on purpose.
Hinch sitting in car waiting for a yellow that never happened.
The Ugly:
Graham Rahal, and his continued struggles. JJ is out pacing his team-mate, at least in practice and qualifying. Graham has the talent, but he needs to show it. Maybe a call to Rob Wilson could help?
