If Gary and I have the same I.P. address, there's something totally amiss in cyberspace.....we are indeed two separate folks. And yeah, we argued pretty good for quite awhile. Then we started agreeing and it scared both of us. Now we're agreeing more often, the series have blended and I can't speak for Gary, but I'm much more comfortable with it. :) :)
Geeeez. Constructive critiscm about the ICS announcers and all hell breaks loose. CART/CC fans did their share of grumbling if they didn't like the color commentary back then either. If you want to keeo eye balls on the TV, PLEASE step up the program ABC/ESPN.Quote:

Are you telling tbyars and some of us here that some folks here have what they call D.I.D or a Bipolar thing? Tell me you are being sarcastic, Jose.Quote:

Yes, but even WHEN we argued, we still did have things we agreed about and readily admitted such.Quote:

One party or the other in these tete-a-tetes has typically reached out via PM to be sure that the other realized it was NOT personal. And it worked.
IC and I are trying to arrange an outing at a local go-kart track in Indy for any and all comers from this board. I want to see if we can convince tamburello to fly in for that. I hear he has some aero tricks up his sleeve. As some of you no doubt remember, he and I seriously butted heads. But a short time latter we teamed up in a racing simulation game.
I've seen the same thing occur here with other folks too. We are all passionate about this sport. We wouldn't spend so much time here if we weren't. That passion hangs in the air. If we were all sitting around in a bar having these EXACT same conversations things would be VERY different. Without the visual cues of body language and inflection of voice we are at a severe disadvantage.

When you don't know or like any of the top contendrs... it becomes boring... for us Champcar fans this is going to be a long journey...
I don't know, Ruben. Wilson was quickest in the first practice today. Rahal, Servia, Junqueira and Power gave a decent account of themselves. They are no longer CC drivers. They are Indycar drivers. If you decide you don't like half of 'em or don't want to know half of 'em because of the split, it's your privilege.
And Bernoldi, Moraes, Perera and Viso are just as new to ex-CC fans as Howard and Mutoh are to Indycar fans as far as knowing them is concerned.
Even worse Ruben, the guys many followed went to NASCAR.Quote:

Don't be surprised if they're back in the not too distant future.Quote:

Dan Wheldon and Scott Dixon (Ganassi), Hideki Mutoh, Danica Patrick and Marco Andretti (AGR), Ryan Briscoe (Penske) and Vitor Meira (Panther) never ran a CART OR CC race.
Tony Kanaan (AGR) and Helio Castroneves (Penske) ran CART races but did not run CC races.
Dixon ran for Pacwest for 2 seasons before going to the IRL.
Okay, Ben, I stand corrected on that one.
It's okay to talk to yourself and it's even okay to answer yourself. It's when you go "huh?" is when you need to worry.Quote:

Personally I´m rooting for Kanaan, I used to work for 7-Eleven and when Kanaan used the 7-Eleven colors a long time I decided to support the guy, and I loved the fact the crying one had cars 7 and 11.
I´m still trying to pick who to hate, give me a couple of weeks, I will find one.
On the meantime I will watch 2 races this weekend.
