Paper Says No Crows at Vegas
Paper Says No Crows at Vegas
From Las Vegas Review-Journal
"The three-day event, which included two days of qualifying, has
inconvenienced some locals and tourists."
"Event owners Dale Jensen and Bradley Yonover are thought to have
invested more than $15 million in the race."
"But crowds were sparse Friday and Saturday for qualifying, and Southern
Nevada does not boast a successful tradition of hosting Indy-style racing."

You don't really find too many crows in the desert. They're more of a
midwestern type of bird

Also, I don't think The Black Crowes, Sheryl Crow or Counting Crows
were playing Vegas last weekend, but I could be mistaken

So I'm sure the IRL will be giving a try at a Vegas street race, since
all they do is imitate whatever CC does.

Oh come on and smell the kool-aid, Dave. Parking is so much better at
St. Pete after the IRL has taken over. What was a total debacle on
race day for traffic is now much more manageable.
FWIW, traffic is much better at Mid-Ohio, Michigan, etc...

OK, there we go... the IRL has eased traffic flow on race weekends.
There's one thing the IRL has improved upon.

Without the IRL's teams, owners, drivers, venues, sponsors,
vendors, viewers, SAFER walls, TV contracts, coverage
and exposure, prestige, enthusiasm, longevity, recent history
current events, future opportunities and a certain je ne sais
quoi, it would simply be chumpcar.

That pathetic, mealy-mouthed response reminds
me of the who is 'King of the Jungle?' parable:
Once upon a time a lion encountered a gorilla.
"Hey, monkey," the lion growled.
Ye-Ye- Yes, sire?" the gorilla answered, voice
trembling.
"Who is the king of the jungle?" the lion roared.
"Why you are, sire, you are!"
"Right!" the lion said. "And don't you forget it!"
Later, the lion met a rhinoceros.
"Hey, you, pointy-head!" the lion roared.
"Yes, sire?" the rhino answered.
"Who's the king of the jungle?"
"But you are, sire. You are."
"That's right! And don't you forget it."
A little later, the lion came upon an elephant.
"Hey, you, elephant! Who's the king of the jungle?" the
lion roared.
Without a word, the elephant ambled over to the lion,
picked him up with his trunk, skewered him on his tusks
then tossed him, smashing him against a tree. Then he
walked over and squashed the lion's tail into a paper
thin ribbon. Then the elephant picked up the lion again
and slammed him hard to the ground.
After getting its ass stomped, as the elephant walked
away, the battered lion lifted his head and called, "Hey,
man, you don't have to get mad just because you don't
know the right answer!"

"That's right! And don't you forget it."
A little later, the lion came upon an elephant.
"Hey, you, elephant! Who's the king of the jungle?" the
lion roared.
Without a word, the elephant ambled over to the lion,
picked him up with his trunk, skewered him on his tusks
then tossed him, smashing him against a tree. Then he
walked over and squashed the lion's tail into a paper
thin ribbon. Then the elephant picked up the lion again
and slammed him hard to the ground.
After getting its ass stomped, as the elephant walked
away, the battered lion lifted his head and called, "Hey,
man, you don't have to get mad just because you don't
know the right answer!"

You've cited nothing. The IRL has failed to improve any aspect of open
wheel racing. You underline that failure in your typical arcane manner.
So try again. Try to provide something useful from that dot-sized brain.

OK, you piece of shit. Prove it.
Look at the record:
The Indy 500 is now a disaster.
The IRL race at Michigan draws almost nobody.
IRL street races can't be described without using the word "cluster".
So pray tell turd wipe, what improvements has the IRL made to anything?
