I miss Nazareth... Actually, I just miss CART. Not whining, I like the current stuff enough to buy tickets to see them race the last 3 years (counting this year there).

I never like street courses outside of maybe Long Beach. I've always wished Indycar went to more permanent road circuits and fewer street circuits. There are plenty of high quality road courses around the country they can go to.

they're looking forward international events, looking forward a return to Surfer's Paradise, as they got top drivers from Australia and New Zealand in the front row teams

It's distressing to see what the track looks like now :(

Would take so much work to get it up to running again.

Nazareth is about 70 miles away from me. I mean to drive over and take a look, take some photos.

I'm sure I'll die a little inside when you post them. Nazareth was the site of my first ever Indycar race.

Those cars are so big and powerful that its unreal for such small tracks. Very different than todah cars. But many many thanks for the video. :thumbsup:


I watched the 1999 Milwaukee race recently, the first year they ran the super speedway wings there... the first 30 minutes of that race has among the greatest oval racing I've ever seen! The Franchitti-Montoya-Tracy-Vasser-Andretti battle was absolutely incredible, one of Montoya's greatest moments. It's on Youtube.



Nice to know, I would also take downforce from them. Maybe all the front and rear spoilers out.

Welp, I'm sure the agression of those drivers made the racing as great as it was TBH. JPM, Paul Tracy, Michael Andretti and those guys were no ordinary drivers. Just see Michael's drive to the front as soon as he got rid of JPM... only time we get to see drives like that today is when RHR is against Helio for the last few laps at Indy...

They can't take too much wing out, otherwise they won't be able to follow each other

Simona is apparently close to securing a drive with Andretti for St Pete.

Which was a seat Justin Wilson had his eye on and I see his brother tweeting he may not be driving at all this year :(

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.

I haven't watched an Indy Lights race since Helio and Kanaan were in it, with a single exception of that 4-wide finish at Indy. I think I will this year.
