I think you need to look at things this way. In an era where the cars are pretty much all equal and the driving talent is pretty much equal a parade isn't going to sell tickets or generate TV ratings.

The biggest reason it didn't seem necessary IMO was because of Sato's worn firestone reds. He ran the last 38 laps on the same set of tires. Then Newgarden became a bit of a sitting duck after he destroyed his tires trying to get by Sato. Add to that the variety of strategies in play and you had cars lighter on…

Not sure you can really argue that it creates artificial passing when all cars have equal amounts of push to pass. It isn't like F1 where only the trailing car gets the DRS and KERS isn't powerful enough to create an advantage if 1 driver uses it and the other one doesn't.

All you F1 fanbois need to realize the talent in Indy Car right now is the best talent they've ever had. The reality is most of these guys are better than all but the most talented drivers on the F1 grid.

Race control recognized racing and didn't give any stupid blocking penalties or avoidable contact penalties. In a land that is usually full of penalties, seeing actual racing was a refreshing and welcome change. there were no stupid cautions for "debris," which was actually a solo cup in the stands that needed more…

The race this weekend really was epic. The last 10 laps literally spiked my heart rate and had me sitting on the edge of my seat. Originally I had been flipping between Oceans Thirteen and the Indy Car race. When Will Power went up in flames (my favorite driver) I was a bit ho-hum about if I wanted to keep watching…

Porsche's thread disappeared. This was my reply to your P2P question

I blew a crank shaft

With the advancement in safety I think NASCAR believes their cars and drivers are bulletproof. The last fatality was Dale Sr and he had an open faced helmet and no HANS device. I have a feeling that the accident that killed Dale Sr. could have happened at almost any track in almost any set of circumstances and don't…

Because Crayola F1

Faith in humanity increasing. We need a daily dose of good news. Just like Hoon of the Day, QOTD, and AOTD have become Jalop staples we need a daily dose of good news. Now I can go home tonight and share a good story instead of a story about something someone did in Florida.

Ok so the thing that gets me is right before it happens one announcer says they won't last more than 1-2 more laps. I think someone else chimed in and said they won't last that long. Sure enough cars everywhere.

You slightly misunderstood my point. I didn't mean role model to fans I meant role model to his teammates on how to act and behave. Some of the comments about how he needs to be out there gutting it out were where that comment was directed. The dude is selfish. I don't think he ever cares if his team wins as long…

This immediately came to mind when i saw the article.

I watched the Mythbusters episode where they put Adam and Jamie in a flight simulator and just turned them loose. With no audio instruction Adam came close to landing the plan. He crashed in a field near the airport. With a pilot on the radio talking him down he landed just fine.

You mean the guy who broke NCAA rules (and by all accounts isn't very book smart and perhaps not very street smart either) and acts like "don't you know who I am" isn't living up to your expectations of a role model athlete and teammate?

I think Gran Turismo 5 was supposed to originally be a PS3 launch title. If GT6 is going to be a PS4 launch title then we'll probably get some hacked together useless demo and GT6 will be released in 2023. I'm sorry but after being a Gran Turismo Fanboy I've become a Forza convert. Well actually I've ditched the…

You talk about the texting and twitter like how dare an executive think of that as a sign of disinterest. Perhaps that wasn't what you were trying to communicate, but I can't think of a better way to ruin your chances with a potential employer. If I have an opportunity to talk to some people at a company while I'm…

Looks like a duck quacks like a duck must be a duck right? I don't understand how something with a $50,000 price tag can be accurately described with the word "super car." Is this like all of our expensive stuff is outsourced to India because it is cheaper?

May 2 and we already have a front runner for Miss May.
