He's been rolling in there for so long I'm surprised he hasn't eroded the ground and caused a sinkhole.

Yeah, I know he's mad and I don't care. I do not care. I did not care then. I do not care now. I'm here to race him.

Dragon Racing put up their garage signs, looks like they have replaced Lotus gold with silver like DRR did.

Someone tweeted that they saw Legge crying and the rumor mill went crazy.

1980 Rookie Of The Year, but he never ran another 500 until his family forced him into stock cars.


The last CART race that I see him listed for was the first 1980 Michigan race where apparently he had a spectacular crash. Possibly that had something to do with things, too...


He also drove in the 1981 Indy 500.

Another bad day in the history of IMS... :(

I actually like the fact I can concentrate on the race, and not look to see what the 4th Ad Board on the entrace to Turn 3, located just above the barrier is... Yes, I know the F1 race had sponsors, but not the 500...

If you can not concentrate on the race because of the ad in the grass you have a serious brain problem. Instead of seeing the positive thing about earning moneay from sponsors you make an elephant out of a moskito imho.

I probably missed a lot of news, but what's with all the "european" drivers (Alesi, Barrichello...) coming back in their old years to compete here, after having been used to repeatedly state how dangerous oval racing is? Is it fame? Money? Some feeling that the indycars are safer this year?

If there's one auto race in the world where a driver close to retirement is seriously allowed to have second thoughts about the risk of death/injury, it's this one. Even Mr. Mario Andretti gave up pushing his luck at some point.

Seems Chevy only gave Dragon 1 engine (That was originally going to Ed Carpenters team) & they decided to give it to Bourdais.

Thank You for all of your messages. Still hoping Dragon can get me an engine for ROP... nothing new on that front yet. Keep fingers crossed!


I hear she was seen talking to Keith Wiggins about running for HMV, At least to try & pass the rookie test in hope Dragon get a 2nd engine in time for qualifying.


As things stand I think were at 32 cars.

^^^ It's the retarded sidepods. Even with the back wheel cover things, if the sidepods didn't look like a sail then the car wouldn't look nearly as dumb.
