I assume so based on the lack of posts here. I am avoiding the news until I get a chance to catch up on WSBK qual and F1. Later... just viewed indycar,com and the qual results. WTF are they still doing that stupid bumping on pole day crap? The field is "united" so isn't it exciting enough? <crickets> I'll watch the race but only because I just...

danica was not the first woman to win a race in an "open wheel" racing series. that title belongs to Shirley Muldowney.

Just watching the quals...didn't see the news so I just saw the video of her hitting the guy. Everyone says it wasn't her fault so I'll take that. BUT, I'm wondering if, instead of being concerned about his injuries, she was on the radio bitching about how the officials should look into it.

" F1-Live,com Momentum with Patrick after taking first win Honda's F1 Chief Executive Nick Fry has offered to open talks with Danica Patrick about a test drive in the near future. The 26-year-old American said late last month she was 'dead set' on eventually joining the Grand Prix circus, following her recent breakthrough win in IndyCar. "We haven't...

...but then I remembered this: http :// www .motorsport,com /photos/champcar/2007/mt/champcar-2007-mt-eg-0466.jpg I don't think she's quite reached that level yet. YMMV. :-D -- "We always have hope of winning, because the others might lose..." Monsieur Orgini - The Grand Prix of Gibraltar

I was listening to the IMS radio commentary but didn't catch why Dixon lost a lap to lose the lead. Can anyone explain?

Tho post-race whining is getting old and I just don't give a shit any more. I was neither a hater or a lover...I just found it interesting. My money is on Wheldon this season...one of the most consistent guys out there...if he starts whining, there probably some justification for it. IRL is back? At the SI web site the IRL page is blank. You have...

Comments about the former CCWS teams needing to learn the Dallara chassis got me wondering how long specs are frozen now. Is it still three years? When will the next update be? KC is not my favorite type of track for open wheel racing, but if you are going to run there, the formula seems to be right. (CART trying to run TMS with 350 or HP too many is another...

I went to the IRL website. The first thing I saw were these huge letters saying "I Am Driven" "I Am Fast" "I Am In Control". But the video below it showed Special Ed's car from an in car camera shot running around an oval, hitting the wall and going "sky shot" ala Dario! He was certainly going fast! I don't know about the other two. Racing shunts...

per her own words in the interview after the qualifying run, they have a lot of work to do on the race setup...which probably means that what usually happens will happen...rapid drop back to end of lead lap and hold on to that for a while and then it's over. But, we shall see... Someone should hack the site and change it to the Danica Racing League....
