Some things that bother men about IndyCar street races...
I have tried to like IndyCar's street races many times, but they always disappointed me. Large cars designed for 220mph speeds on ovals clunk along narrow street corners in slow succession, bouncing like crazy due to uneven street surface. Little or no run-off areas result in frequent yellows. Yellows result in chaotic pit action that's hard to follow. Engines sound decidedly industrial (general comment)

I thought you were presuming to speak for all men until I realized it was a typo. :
Everyone has their own taste. I stopped watching the banked ovals in 2010 because I found them boring. Milwaukee, Loudon, and Indy were the only ovals I watched last year.
The engines sound only so-so because they are limited to low revs. They are just starting to sound good when they have to shift up. If they could rev them to 14,000, then they would scream.

I thought the broadcast from St. Pete's didn't do a bad job of showing the speed. I know after 5 years of not being at the Toronto Indy, I went last year and I had forgotten how much is lost by watching on TV.

I like the way these cars look on camera. They look "tossable" and appear to be going fast. How they look in person I'll let you know on Monday.
