Blue balls: The Finish, part 2

Race at Toronto must end under yellow after two late (silly) cautions.

OK, race though, not as good as yesterday, but still worth to watch.

Let's see if Dario will get a penalty for failing to fulfill the tire rule. And will that penalty stay...

Dario has to be penalised, otherwise its unfair on everyone else

I think Dario should be demoted to last driver on the lead lap.

Going by the rulebook then Dario should be penalized, However if Barnhart told Ganassi they didn't need to put the red's on again then it would be unfair to penalize Dario as clearly they would have put the red's back on if they were told they needed to.


Some of the decisions from race control this weekend, Especially the changing or ignoring of rules Mid-race just shows why Barnhart has no business been anywhere near race control.

The rules say there not allowed to put 4 wheels over the kurbs yet yesterday he told them they could cut the kurbs, Were supposed to have double file restarts yet yesterday he decided to make the last one single-file, He gave Dario a penalty which later had to be over-turned because it was so utterly stupid, There supposed to run 2 green flag laps on each tyre compound yet today he decided that Dario didn't need to.

Rules are rules, Either enforce them or work on changing them for the next race if they need changing. The guy in charge of race control should not ignore rules, change rules mid-race or simply do what he feels like & Barnhart has always done this & thats a big part of why he became such a disliked figure amongst not just fans but also drivers.

TV guys said there's a proviso in the rules that if in a doubleheader there's the need to change a red tyre for damage, then the 2-lap rule isn't applied, on the grounds of the teams not having that many red tyres.

So it looks like no penalty for Dario, rightly it seems.

Is that really in the rule book or did Brainfart read the Vince Russo book of incompetent things that could ruin your business?

What did we learn in Toronto:
- Dixon is fast
- Power & Hunter-Reay have bad luck
- Barnhart likes Absinthe

Ugh, Barnhart...
As Buzz would say : You are a sad, strange little man. And you have my pity.

I don't think he has read many books, fictional or otherwise....

This post sums up Barnshart and IndyCar :P

Just sayin'.

WCW was always the better one

If race control told a team to do something, and they do it...why should the team be penalised? Race control is the final word in things - if they fucked up, then I'm sorry, boot them out, they clearly don't know what they're doing.

Barnhart couldn't organise a pissup in a brewery, let alone a race.
