OK Phil, I spoke with Young Grasshopper who indicates that if he doesn't have to work this weekend we'll be there on Sunday as he enjoys your company

Frankly, I think the fundamental problem is not quite so much the players as it is the cars. They are all, essentially, the same. At least, save for the paint schemes, they almost are. Even on the road courses, which seem to have come back, they still look much the same, but don't pass each other very much. It's boring, even to a long-time racing fan as me.

Maybe I'll just forget about the race and drop by the Tutta Bella (that's "Your fatness exceeds all forms of beautifulness") according to the Italian I learned when in Italy.

Just sayin'
Well, it's not a big deal now.....and the cars weren't the same before Tony took over. Indy was a spectacle....500,000 people....are you kidding? Andretti, Foyt, Unser, and later Tracy, Rayhal, fFttapaldi , Villenuve. Ganssii, Foyt, and "The Captain" Penske (don't worry your pretty little head about the spelling). Remember the Chevy Ilmor sleeper brought in just for Indy? Some of the best most competitive racing I've ever seen....under CART and before but not since.

It saddens me that something so great was ruined by an ego that had more money than brains. Sound familiar?

When ever I'm caught in rain, I wait for it it too partially dry, then attack the car with a few 100% Cotton towels. Then quick detail.

You own a Corvette and there are certain rules to follow Aaron!
