KC should be qualifying in the top 5 on the gridKC should be qualifying in the top 5 on the grid
I for one, am certainly glad that A.J. Foyt is right when he says that street courses are Mickey Mouse. Yesterday's race only illustrated the point. There was no passing, no drama, not action at all.

Why is A.J. so adamant to illustrate all the short comings of CART. Maybe he needs to address the issues of poor attendance, high engine failure rates, and crashes within the league that he apparently reveres.

Certainly we saw some poor driving and childish antics during the CART race at Toronto, but we also saw some masterful and respectful driving from better than half of the competitors on the track. There was sure a lot of passing going on on that street course when all the media pundits and some of the IRL leadership continue to bash the races as processional and Mickey Mouse. I wonder if anyone has ever asked the fans at Toronto, Long Beach, Vancouver, and Houston what they think about street courses. Nope. They continue bith and complain instead.
