500 miles, all for a drink of milk and a kiss of bricks.
switched with a guy:bomb: for the weekend. forgot about indy.
I will be at work, but we have a tv, so I'll get to watch it, kind of.
Im sure she'll sleep her way into a victory eventually.

Why come in a thread about the Indy 500 and hate on the race? An urge to start some crap perhaps??
Because driving in circles is lame.
Comparing Indy to F1 is like comparing cyclocross to road riding. The machines kind of look the same, and there's crossover with competitors, but they're completely different sports.
it's good to have a tv with twin views...runnin indy 500 on one side and f1 on the other....btw anyone else see the fan that got hit by the carbon fiber wing
So are double digit time gaps between first and second and essentially no lead changes for the whole race -- barring temporary ones during pitting.blue said:
HOLY COW!!! WHAT A FINISH!! that was nuts...although i'm glad hornish won it would have been cool if marco or michialle had won
Man that was an awesome finish. Wow.
I switched between the two, then watched the one in Houston. Good stuff.Sherpa said:

That was super cool. I think if the kid would have just floored it instead of trying to block he might have won.
Rookie mistake! He should have floored it AND blocked Hornish!ummbikes said:WORD!

Awsome finish and a good race.
Chang, we don't get much A1 coverage here. But then auto racing is about as popular as soccer here. I've been kinda keeping an eye on the A1 series and it seems way cool. I like the 2 race format for race day, and having identical cars produces a true drivers race. I like it, and I hope it gains in popularity.

Alonso lead wire to wire and won by 14 seconds with 3rd over 50 seconds back. The only thing mildly exciting was seeing how many places Schumacher could get back after being regulated to last place on the poll for that cheeky move during qualifying.Sherpa said:
got home from riding in time to catch the final 75 laps. kanaan and wheldon were robbed by the scourge of racing nowadays. the late race caution flag. i hate those damn things with a passion.
and then the young andretti absolutely gave that race away. i'll bet his dad and grandfather sat him down with video and said w.t.f. ?
hornish probably couldn't believe his eyes when he saw marco slow up after blocking him entering turn three.
nothing like having the 500 handed to you by an inexperienced kid who didn't know that you don't ever back off the gas on the last lap at indy.
