Since Bryan Herta probably won't be in this year's race, who will be on the podium?

1. Gil
2. Moreno
3. Fernandez

are my choices.

P.S. Take a few minutes to remember Gonzalo Rodriguez this weekend. I hope the broadcasters give him some kind words and it would be good if there was a little ceremony before the race too....

My predictions are:

1. Helio Castroneves
2. Franchitti
3. Tracy

Montoya will most likely DNF if he cannot take it easy on his gearbox. Andretti will suffer engine failure.

The Penskes should be hard to beat of they can continue to create more downforce without drag than the other teams. Laguna is slippery with sand all the time and will always catch out the driver being too agressive.

I would have to agree with KC. The Penskes should be tough to stop, although the 2 kool cars could be in either order depending on who finds the better setup for the race or stalls in the pits.

And, as usual it will likely be one of the most boring races on the Cart schedule.

Well I'm sure that TSN will run the ABC feed so we will get a lot of commercials, time-outs for baseballs being batted, worship of Tiger Woods (who is invisible at the Bell Canada Open, incidentally) and other assorted rubbish, and then will assure us that "you didn't miss anything while we were at commercial".

I was in Monza last year and missed this race. Geez.
