Baguette in last? He turn laps? So much for the talent this guy has.....

Simona did well too I see.

It will be fun watching Wheldon and Tag's trying to move through the pack because we all know both of those guys are better than they qualified...

Wheldon and Tags both did not test here in February as most drivers did. Wheldon went off in the gravel trap in group 1 of qualifying which voided out his 2 fast times. He would of been in row 9 or row 10 had that hadnt happened. Tags was just a little slow.

he must not of, because even riding a bicycle, you'd turn a lap faster than Milka :p :

Congrats to Will on his 3rd win of the year. Without looking, I think this is the first time a driver has opened a season 3 for 3 since PT in 2003. With apologies, Bourdais may also have but I can't remember. At any rate, hard to think Power won't go 4 for 4 next week at LBGP.

Note: Had some extra time so I'm posting this in advance of race tomorrow...its already over.

Why do they still but a catagory on the time sheet for T/E/C. I'm going out on a limb here but I'm thinking eveybody has Firestone/Honda/Dallara, am I right?

I wanted to put a post up to give KV some credit. I've been ragging on them hard because to me they've been quite disappointing on the speed charts (not to mention having at least 2 cars not complete more than 20 laps of a race yet). All that aside, they did get all 3 cars into the top 12 and Sato into fast 6. Viso was challenging for the fast 6 and looks like he took his hot laps just a bit too soon. So kudos to them, hope it is a sign of things to come. The more competition the better.

The only variation is the occasional Panoz's that come out at Indy.

barring a yellow screwing him over, hes in a league of his own with the car.

and I agree with your first part too, he can easily be 4 for 4 before the oval season starts

Glad to see some front page exposure on ESPN.com for the Indycars on a day that NASCAR is actually racing. They round out the top 6 but the funny part is they make sure everybody knows Danica will start 19th out of 25 cars...nevermind she actually was 21st fastest but I'm splitting hairs. At least the series got noticed for a change.
