That was my plan, but think I wasted most of the morning with Monaco. Wow was it dull for most of the race. It seems like Indy will be a 500 mile endurance race with a sprint after the last stop, didn't seem like anyone wanted to lead and Marco's radio sounded like he felt fuel management was going overboard.

So Power's in the lead. I'd laugh if he won.

Does anyone else think it is highly ironic that they finally, with the new car, managed to break the cycle of Indy 500s where passing never happened after it is all too late?

ABC doing well to inundate the American public with as many product advertisements as possible and try to justify it by giving us the smallest window possible in side-by-side. #Joke

Just turned into a stream 10 laps ago or so. Feeling kinda nervous now. I hope Kanaan gets it.

They should use the 2002 CART red flag rules from 5-3 to go.
But what a job by Tony Kanaan! |

A finish under yellow, for Indycar's biggest race of the year? That, and the ugly cars, continues to show how brain dead this series is. Ugh

Like I said, red flag the race and stop counting the laps with 5-2 to go. It's worked before in CART, short track racing, and a 1 lap shootout isn't a big deal as they did it in 1997.
They also used it at Fontana in 2002. Last edited by bjohnsonsmith; 26 May 2013 at 19:17. |
