I thought St. Pete was quite a good race but afterwards that was nothing compared to this one, what a hell of a race today! Congrats to Conway, really like him on the road/street courses, he might suck big time on the ovals but what a beast he is on those road/street courses!
On to Barber, truly can't wait for that one, the first permanent road course on the schedule.October 16th, 2011 - One of the blackest days in the history of motorsports.

This was a good race, but it would have been even better without the carnage caused by Ryan Hunter-Reay. Will Power was also lucky to finish on the podium and score really good points despite collision with Simon Pagenaud. But then again, IndyCar always seems to have this on the street courses.

From Ryan's in car camera it looks like he only got as far as his front wheel alongside Newgarden's rear wheel. It looked like a good move but when Newgarden's tires hooked up there wasn't enough time to get alongside, and the corner got there so fast that there wasn't enough time to get out. The corner just got there too soon and Ryan was stuck. It turned out to be a bad move but I'll bet at least half the field would have done the same thing.
You will always have that with narrow tracks that have blind corners and no run off. Generally I prefer to see them race these cars on a real road circuit. A street race or two is ok, but I'de like to see the series get back to Watkins Glen and Road America. It would be cool if the went to VIR too, but I don't think that will ever happen.
