Rumors of Open Wheel's impending demise

[SportscarBruce]

along with that of the Indianapolis 500,

including bump day

and a genuine television partnership

were greatly exaggerated.



More to come.

Curiously awaiting this week's offering of contractually influenced, intellectually handicapped, ethically compromised talking points disguised as expert opinions.



Today I witnessed something special. Hopefully you did too. This was Bump Day at Indy as authentic, dramatic, and unpredictable as ever before. We saw John Andretti and his Dreyer and Reinbold crew grab success from the depths of failure. D&R reached deep into their bag of Indy knowledge, pulled out a radical series of chassis and aero adjustments, sent John Andretti back out for another 4-lap attempt, and when the checkered flag fell lept from the depths of Did Not Qualify dispair up onto the 10th row. Such an achievement is noteworthy, but what made it truly special - sheer determination born. At this time and place it wasn't money or goals of self-recognition that drove this team. A sense of duty for a respected colleague fueled their effort. The Petty Blue and STP Red Windows World team has gained a devoted fan.

maybe, just maybe, Windbag and Blowhard will take this example of mutual respect and insert it into the program by reporting on Indycar and the Indy 500 with objectivity. I hope so, I really do.

It is worth pointing out that its the first meaningful bump day since the IRL was created.

Also, that "interview" that Tony George gave really couldn't be less inspiring. He has the personality of a monotone sloth and the mind of a dull razor blade. I still have grave doubts about the future of American open wheel as long as he is in control of it.

That's an insult to monotone sloths everywhere.

On the contrary, I'd say that was the most lively I've ever seen him.

That is to say he appeared to be awake.

So?

You can have the greatest "bump day" in history and it won't matter if nobody saw it.

The power of positive thinking.......

I saw it. I think it was one of the greatest bump days. But I guess I am nobody. Sigh

As someone said on another thread. Let's fold up the tent and go home.

Your constant bashing is getting old. I know, I know, "the Biz is an open topic for discussion". But come on man, just look at the bright side for once. Is that too much to ask?
