Well DUH! I tried to pay a little respect to you because your comments are the only negative ones about the 500 on here and you past shows you're not the most brilliant. Show some yourself, if all you have is something to bi$#@ about then go somewhere else. Indy is sacred and you...well you aren't.Quote:

I quite enjoyed that race, myself. Could have done without the early cautions, but even so it was quite the nail biter of a finish until Conway took flight.
I'm scottish and I like Dario, but I've always liked Wheldon and I'd have loved to see that last lap unfold properly without the yellow.
Still, that's the Indy 500 for you and I love it - still the best motor sports event in the world. :)
Here's the crash, to think he got out and waved to the crowd after this is incredible

Wow.
Seriously, I have no idea what Mike Conway was playing at there. It's not like he was even alongside - he just arrived at the scene of the accident, like he was so fond of doing last year.
Either way, that accident probably robbed Dan Wheldon of his second Indy 500 like the puncture did in 2006.
This is no poor reflection on F1 but almost all of their races so far have shown plenty of empty seats. It's a tough economy for everyone.

I'd call it that if it hadn't been Mike Conway involved.
He's like Banzai Briscoe was in his first year or two. Seeing gaps from a mile away and going for them like there are no consequences.
I actually wonder how much longer Conway and Briscoe have with their respective teams. So many unforced errors from the pair of them - Ryan hasn't exactly grown out of it - he threw away the championship last year at Motegi, and Conway just seems to be the type of driver that attracts carnage, too.

EJ Viso is a complete spaz, who has shown nothing in 3 years now. Moraes has a 10 cent brain and the concentration level of a 8 year old who has no business in this series. Sato has been a complete dud and has lived up to his rep in F1.
Put a few competent drivers in those cars instead of the hacks they have now, and KV could be competitive. Continue to trot out those 3 guys, and they will continue to go nowhere.
Jimmy and Kevin need to go out and actually find a sponsor or two on their own for once (so they could actually HIRE a competent driver) or they will continue to sputter around in the back of the field.
Sad but basically all too true! I gave them a chance at the beginning of the year but here we are past Indy and it has been the same story week after week. If one of their cars finishes, it is usually a couple laps down with an exception or 2.Quote:

At first, I thought only Hunter-Reay and Beatriz were involved and that it was Beatriz's car in bits. Didn't realise that Conway was involved. Incredible pictures when I saw the replay. He was SO lucky that car didn't go cockpit first into the fencing, that could have been horrific. I hope he's okay for Texas, that was one scary ride. Overall, though a cracking race that kept us guessing right to the end. If only more Indycar races were like this.
