Very good statistic, that.
John Andretti in an IndyCar seems like a whole world away from the current era! Welcome to ten-tenths, Afro_dud |

Welcome Afro_dud, that sure is a great statistic. Going into the 2004 race, Herdez had 2 of the 4 previous winners in the field - both won the race as rookies despite not making the championship top 10! I guess this is now one of the few races Bourdais is 0-for-2 in?

That 'race' was a bit of a joke really - Swimmer's Paradise would've been a more apt name for the venue.
Well done on getting the hang of our quote system straight away - a lot of new posters don't. I'm pretty sure I didn't, and I work with computers. Last edited by BootsOntheSide; 26 Oct 2004 at 15:53. |

If I'm not mistaken he reached the semis in his first event and managed to reach a final in another (which he finished second in) before deciding to put his NHRA Top Fuel career on the shelf. |
