that includes the part time drivers and people like Buddy, who has only tested and isn't yet signed with D&R, as they said themselves on indycar.com last week ;)

yikes , there are a lot of white cars on that page - hopefully that will change soon!!

Are you going to post these somewhere? Are you going to keep stats for each race or just a running total? If the latter, you might want to segregate oval laps vs. non-ovals. I think that might be interesting, especially for the new folks with little or no oval experience, just to see how they adapt.

Gary this really shouldn't be that hard to do .... if I watch all the races :) . I'll DVR them all then take the laps they actually run and divide them by their incidents. Not just dnf incidents but any contact or spin they make. I'll put them in a excel spread sheet then I can post a total here and have a download link for the spread sheet.

I'll do the oval / non-oval thing.

The question is should we have a special category for incidents for people trying to miss Milka? The ICS is missing a good deal by not hooking her up as a nopi chick. :p

Hey, I am back... just like long lost Sanguin.

This tread is particularly relevant again as we enter what is to be the last weekend of ChampCar and the last gasp of The Split.

So What Happens Next?

How many cars will be left running by the end of the ChampCar race this weekend? How will the world look to you four days from now when ChampCar has run its last race and is only a memory? How long will The Kevster stay in the Indy Car Series before he finds another hobby. How much longer will the CCF Hater site continue? It is looking pretty nasty and cannibalistic over there these days. Just like the past 18 months of ChampCar.

This weekend seems to be getting a lot of exposure as the last roundup of CC. That follows the major exposure the SPORT got when it blendified. After this weekend, those who enjoy the SPORT move forward to Kansas, Indy and on down the trail. As that continues, F-Troop and those of that ilk become less meaningful to the SPORT, day-by-day.

I hope LB can survive the IRL takeover in the coming years,past history has shown other events haven't faired so well. It will be curious to see what happens with the Motegi date in 2009.
