So JW manages to beat the fastest time from last year - big deal. The IRL has only raced at Toronto once before, in 2009.
It would be a bigger suprise if they weren't able to beat last years time.
Call me when they get close to the Champcar record.

Most drivers have mentioned how "edgy" most modern race cars have become as they have been honed to very fine degrees. It takes very quick and conditioned reactions to get the most out of them. In almost all series (even NASCAR), it is becoming more of a young person's game.
As we get older, it seems often the mind is willing, but the body just doesn't cooperate.I read it on the internet, so it must be true

Report from the track is attendance is up from last year but still light compared to earlier years. The ban on your own food and especially water is really annoying a lot of people.
Hot Dogs $4 and a Burger $5. Not really out of line there.
Trans Am field is pathetic. 8 cars and only 5 anywhere near competitive.
Be interesting to see the crowd today. There is a threat of thunderstorms but supposedly not until late afternoon. With the heat and humidity they can pop up anytime, especially near any of the Great Lakes.

Some posters have been full of praise for Randy's criticism of Milka's lack of pace--but jeez, what a pathetic display to say they'll evaluate it at the end of the season! It's like watching a shoplifter take something right in front of you and say you'll evaluate whether to go after them when the store closes... Someone should explain to him how to stand up on his hind legs and act like the leader of the Series.
Changing the subject radically-----Bud Light Lime--isn't that what you use to clean your car's wheels?
