When they called the race on Sunday I wonder why so early. There was still a good 2 1/2- 3 hours at least of daylight left. A quick look at my onscreen TV guide gave me the explanation.
Professional Rodeo was coming up.
Will the NBC purchase help? Not if the new website is any indication.
For those that missed it, rush home or set your DVR's. 5:00 EST on Versus.
Well, I was hoping for a better performance from Danica today especially being my birthday..lol
Oh well, we got this road/street course stint out of the way. Now on to the ovals!
Am I the only one thinking Franchitti has a bit too much luck this year. Last race he took advantage from Helio's stupid move that took Power and Dixon out. An now his own mistake gave him a great chance of winning the race, or at least coming second to Rahal, who was lucky too, this time at least.
Huh? What I saw was massive amounts of standing water on the track. Or are you referring to something different?Quote:

You're disputing the fact there was standing water on the track and it was still raining and that's why they called it?Quote:

Stirling Moss once mentioned how he liked to make the track look absolutely fiendish (to those behind him) if he was leading in a wet race. Power was kicking that back end out pretty good when he lead. Psych!
I have a big soft spot for Sato and was glad to see him up at the front.
Yeah, how did Franchitti finish fourth when he seemed to be mired in that tire maze for an entire bathroom break?
Solid finish for Hinchcliffe and he didn't cost the team any money (see RJR). Ahh Tags...
Hot lap to Simona? She had it with just a lap or so to go. Woo Hoo!
Congrats to Power. It was a fun and messy race.
That's good. In real life (I almost wrote "IRL," but considering the forum, thought better of it...:þ) I've been considered negative, so I'm going to steal this line.Quote:

And on the topic of the race, I liked how my girl Simona kept right on going, gaining experience, not giving up, even though she was 9 laps down at one point.
Nope. You're just Mr. Negativity, period. Never read a positive post from you.Quote:

She should just donate her race check this week to charity. She completely tanked it.
Speaking of quitters, how about that Bourdais? *****, who seems to have no interest in this Coyne stunt marriage anymore. He basically looked like he gave up today. Maybe he'll go back to France and just stay there. Considering he's 25th in points, its not like Coyne will be missing much. Hell, Milka could score as many points as Bourdais has. And that is not a joke either.
I didn't think is was a bad race. Lots of action and I always find it interesting to see who can drive in the rain and who can't. Danica not a good in the wet, no surprise there. RHR,Bourdais and Briscoe I had expected more from. A lot of spins and and wall bumping from those guys. What I don't understand at all is the gamble that the teams took with Sato and Andretti. They were running up front on their own, not by alternate strategy. So why take the big gamble of getting enough yellows to make it to the end on fuel? Both drivers were driving really well and it seems that their respective teams threw away potentially excellent finishes on a needless gamble by not pitting when the Power and the others pitted
If this is true, then maybe it has more to do with the quality of car and engineering staff Coyne has. Or lack thereof.Quote:

How did you get access to Scotty's account and who are you?Quote:

Well said Scotty.
DBell-
What exactly more did you expect from briscoe?
A podium is underachieving?
Oops, my mistake. I meant to say DixonQuote:
