I might respectfully argue with you a little. I like to see passing, I would like to see more than 5 passes for the lead in one year. Someone running 230mph by himself the whole race, is not fun for me. I would just assume see them compete against one another at 190mph. I can't tell the difference from my tv set anyway.
I respect your opinion redeye, just diagree. I wish the Indy 500 would get back to the popularity it once was. I enjoy that race usually. The storylines seem to be what they focus on while broadcasting. I bet they won't shut up about the chick, until she crashes in the beginning. They will need some backup stories.
It is a terrible thing to say, but I believe it to be true: until we get more americans in the race, it will never get back it's luster here in america. I think unser and foyt have young namesakes that will be running next year, maybe that will help.
