Crap. Am I the only one watching the Indy races? :laugh:

Quick little track, probably a lot of fun to watch in person. Makes me wish I gone to see the Indy Cars up in Richmond.

You're not the only one. Not many posting though. There just doesn't seem to be a lot of interest here anymore. That seems to be pretty much the case across the spectrum of racing.

I watched it in the hospital recovering from surgery. When you are the dopey they sure look fast.

I wonder if that is why people drink so much at NASCAR races?

I hope whatever surgery it was went well.

Thanks, guys. I am ok now, but it sucked for about a week. The best part last weekened I was home, but was was too sore and miserable to do anything on Saturday, so I took a couple oxy and zoned out.

The saturday Indycar race (Toronto) was rained out, and moved to Sunday, So, on Sunday, so I had Indycar #1, then Formula 1, then Indycar #2, and then the sportscar race wifey recorded while I was away. Sunday was pretty damm good.

Hope you're feeling better, Nige.

I'm not even sure when the next Indycar race is, but I think it is Mid Ohio this weekend.

People hate the schedule because it ends on labor day (Sept 1st), but that's just the beginning of perfect flying weather for RC planes. It's great they race Indycars when it's 90 degrees outdise and I can watch it in the AC, and it's also nice it's over by the t time it's nice again outside.

Check this out..........................

That is some great flying Doc. How many hours do you have behind that hobby?


Maybe if I had something like that to do in the off season, I wouldn't hate the off season so much. All the racing goes away and it cools down and gets dark.... I'm not a fan of winters!

It's more like 50 years!

If you are in the US, look up AMA.org. They have a search engine that can show you where the closest clubs are. If you are on the other side of the pond I can't be much help.

Shame on you guys. Abandoning the pinnacle of all motorsports - IndyCar - for cheap thrills. Shame, shame. :D :D :p
