Fresh from a return to the Tricky Triangle, the IndyCar stars head up north to Bizarro World, where chanting CENA SUCKS are common, people yelling SEXUAL CHOCOLATE is normal, no one cares about the Divas division, crowd humming Fandango's theme in unison because Bizarro World, and people not giving a rat's ass about Sheamus and Randy Orton!

Oh, and there's a doubleheader this weekend, featuring a standing start, where nothing could go wrong, right?

Riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight????

4 will stall on the grid, we'll get a FCC, and it'll be like a rolling start, with just less laps to go...

Should be some good entertainment watching the first ever standing start in Tony George IndyCar history.

And with sheer irony, two of those stalled cars will be Sato and Bourdais.

It looks like they could hold a jet sprint boat event on Lakeshore Blvd right now.

For once you don't need Nick Heidfeld, Mark Webber or Charlie Whiting to tell that it's undrivable. 8O

Even if the water does clear by this weekend, there is going to be a lot of silt and crap left on the track, it's certainly going to be a very green surface

Similar conditions to Surfers 2002 then....expect 3 flips!

I'm not worried by the standing start. All the trouble here happens in turn 3 anyway so a standing start or rolling start changes nothing when they all pile in there.

I'm going to try and remember the race but I might be attending a wine tasting so I'll just set up the DVR when I get home later just to be safe.
