Indy Grand Prix Of Alabama

On the bright side, there aren't concrete walls along both sides of the whole track. If we see the same kind of opportunistic driving we've seen the last 2 races, with more track/curb/dirt to work with, there could be some sweet overtaking moves.

And who is going to provide this "magic" setup. It sure as hell isn't going to be her. She is clueless when it comes to participating in setups on road or street courses.

I am curious as to why you make a distinction between street and road courses.

You just don't get it do you? She had 2 days under the same circumstances as everybody else and she COULDN'T come up with a better setup. Who do you think is responsible for the setup? She isn't capable of providing the information, nor is she capable of getting the maximum capability our of a vehicle, which is why she sucks. This is proved every single week, yet you and her are the only 2 people on the planet that keep having an excuse.

So tell me DF, what was her excuse for be SLOW in St. Pete last event? Oh yeah, she made it clear in the local press. "It is just too hard to be faster than somebody else..." Or something to that effect.

She sucks, end of conversation....on to relavant topics please.

I know what you mean...road courses aren't nearly as bumpy obviously and more often than not their turns are a little more sweeping. It might be more my imagination but I feel having watched over time, certain drivers do better in 1 area over the other. I tend to think that even though Will is still very very fast on a road course, he is more dominant on the streets. I think the opposite of Wilson. Again, maybe it is just my imagination but seems like it sorts out the same way whenever they go to a road or a street.

PS...as a PT fan, he has been much less competitive on roads vs streets toward the end of his career. I always assumed it had to do with the larger amounts of rough streets Champ Car raced on. Bourdais who was much smoother where PT is very aggressive and harsh, tended to out pace him more easily on the roads.
