I still cannot get over the hideous sidepods.

And, strangely enough, Lola's wheel guards look a lot better than Dallara's.

You know, as hideous as the sidepods are, I can get over it by remembering that at least it's not the DeltaWing...

Seeing this car makes me believe that nothing is such as bad as it can't get any worse.

For the record I was being satirical. Of course I think Helio and Paul were right in calling Brain out, but I do think its funny how Paul got the bigger fine.

Al Unser Jr arrested again for DWI :(

You beat me to the punch posting that story. I'm so damned angry I can't think straight. He was my racing hero growing up, ffs.

This is the correct course of action, by the way.

Regarding the new car, I don't disagree that it's visually unappealing (the front is nice though, in my opinion) but if it's quicker and the racing is better, then it's mission accomplished. It's barely been on the track anyways and we're still a long way short of seeing any aero updates and deviations. Given the current quality of racing, it's too early to begin begging and choosing.

It's not really a matter of money. At this point it's obvious he still has a massive alcohol problem. Shame to see a legend succumbing to addiction.

Funny fact: It is possible that Power wins both the oval and the street trophy but looses the overall championship.

gotta agree with you.... if he gets the most points out of anyone for the oval and road courses..... then surely he HAS to be champion?

Yeah I can't see how the maths would work. You can't score the highest both times and not win.

Las Vegas does not count for the Oval trophy =)

Edit: At least I read that in another forum. Don't know if that's true.

Actually, I think you might be right, I recall Dario getting the trophy before last years finale

So if the Vegas event is not counted for Oval Trophy but is counted in overall results, it means that Power could win both trophies and lose the overall championship to Dario if Power only wins the oval and road course trophies with small margin. I mean, if it works that way with Vegas, otherwise you can't take the top in both trophies and lose overall championship title - unless the points from Pole Positions are not counted in the trophies.

I'm not sure, about anything I just said, but it would be hilarious if Dario would be champion but Power would have both of the trophies. LoL.

From an official mail:
Dixon’s run on the five ovals, however – from the .875-mile Iowa Speedway to the 2.5-mile Indianapolis Motor Speedway – has been anything but average. Four top-five finishes, including a pair of runner-up spots in the Firestone Twin 275s at Texas Motor Speedway, have provided Dixon with a 17-point cushion in the A.J. Foyt Oval Trophy chase entering the Kentucky Indy 300 (the final points-scoring race for the award).
